A Collection of Poetic Curiosities

Jennifer MacLean and her cat Newton have done a lot of things over the years. Jennifer wrote “An Ode To Me: Poetry For Cats, By A Cat” and together they filmed and recorded their adventures. On this page is a small sample of those adventures. From Cat Poetry to Classic Poetry to Death Metal Classic Cat Christmas Poetry.

Keeping Amused During Lockdown

Jennifer continues to find new and interesting ways to amuse herself and her cat Newton. Well, clearly Newton isn’t amused but Jenn is loving isolation time! Really.

Jingle Cat

A new classic Christmas cat poem turned into a death metal music video. Classic.

Once the Christmas Tree is decorated, it’s up to the cat of the house to … well … finish it. Oh Tannenbaum? More like, Oh Tannen-BOMB, amirite? Please enjoy the latest annual Dropbear and Panda holiday special. Special thanks to Emre Cords for the music, and Paul McCart for the vocals.
