Philly writer Katie Haegele has been putting out the beloved Cat Party! zine series for 7 years — and now it’s turned into a book! This diverse, lively anthology, published by Microcosm Publishing, collects every issue of the zine plus brand new contributions made especially for the book. More than 50 artists contributed essays, comics, portraits, song lyrics, and photos, all about the beloved cats in their lives, and the pieces range from heartbreakingly personal to totally whimsical (and everything in between)

Come celebrate the release of this beautiful book! You’ll be able to buy your copy before it’s available in stores, get yourself some cat-themed merch (including records with original music by contributor Joe Carlough!), and hang out while enjoying our catty playlist. It’s gonna be a blast!
