A Cat’s Writings
A literary, humorous, and introspective book told in five parts: Rats, Pigeons, Foxes, Dogs, and Cats. A small universe of voices, instincts, and contradictions — written with teeth and tenderness.
Originally written in Portuguese as O Gato que Escrevia, now adapted for an English edition.
Overview
Five parts. Five instincts. One voice that keeps changing its mind.
A Cat’s Writings is a collection of short pieces that blend humour, introspection, and cultural commentary — sometimes sincere, sometimes neurotic, sometimes cutting, often all at once.
The book is structured in five parts — Rats, Pigeons, Foxes, Dogs, and Cats — each one shifting the tone and the “animal logic” behind the narrator’s voice. It’s a book about being human… told through creatures that pretend they’re not.
What to Expect
- Humorous, conversational essays
- Short monologues and observations

Book Structure
A deliberate arc, told through animal metaphors and shifting perspective.
Rats
Survival logic. Scrappy thoughts. The mind looking for exits.

Foxes
Cleverness, adaptation, and the charm of self-protection.
Dogs
Loyalty, belonging, affection — and the fear of not being chosen back.
Cats
Independence, intimacy, contradiction. Softness with claws.
