Library Virtual Lecture: A Funny Look At ‘Cat People’ & Their Cats

The Tewksbury Public Library (300 Chandler Street) is co-hosting bestselling author Nicole Tersigni at 7pm on ZOOM for a discussion of her new book, Cat People To Judge In Art And Life, a tongue-in-cheek collection of cats’ innermost thoughts. Cat people love their cats deeply . . . maybe a little too deeply. Cats, on the other hand, secretly hate our haircuts but tolerate our presence because we have the thumbs to open the food can. Against the backdrop of fine art, delve into the minds of our feline companions and the people who serve them. Tersigni is a comedic writer and author of the bestselling Men to Avoid in Art and Life, and its follow-up, Friends to Keep in Art and Life. Learn more & register HERE.
