Following the five-week disappearance and mysterious reappearance of their cat Tibia, San Francisco-based artists Wendy MacNaughton and Caroline Paul decided to embark on a comprehensive probe. Utilizing everything from  cutting-edge 21st century technology to old-fashioned gumshoe skills, the duo explored San Francisco from their cat’s point of view.

Lost Cat: A True Story of Love, Desperation, and GPS Technology (BloomsburyUSA) is the amusing result of their investigation. The book—out next week—is packed with hilarious illustrations and stories that address the age-old mystery of where our pets go when they go on walkabout.
