I’m sure that you get the idea of what I was trying to accomplish with the Cattionary. If it tickles you, as it did me, and you think you can come up with an entry, please feel free to use the Contact Us page and submit it. If I like it and include it in the book, I’ll give you credit for it and send you a free book when they are available. If it just goes on the website, you’ll still get credit for it.
Bear in mind that the book will be read to children, so keep it clean. My original version of cataclysm was – a feline orgasm. My wife made me change that one even though I don’t think that’s bad.
