Angie Bailey

In 2009 I began writing Catladyland, a cat humor blog that went on to win the 2011 Pettie Award for Funniest Blog/Blogger. My cat humor/parody book, whiskerslist: the kitty classifieds,is scheduled for publication in the fall of 2013. Additionally, I’m a professional member of the Cat Writers’ Association and unprofessional member of the Embarrass My Children Association.

Full Name (Including Embarrassing Second Names): Frances Angela Bailey

Age: I graduated high school in 1988. Now you have to do math.

Location: Minneapolis/St. Paul area

Where You Can Find Me on the Internet: My blog Catladyland; the Catladyland Facebook page; and on Twitter. You can also Google Angie Bailey; I’m the one with all the cat links. I am not the Angie Bailey who is a successful real estate agent from Charleston and I must find some way to dethrone her from Google’s top spot.

What I Do for a Living: I write humor, mostly cat-related. I also recently co-founded a small production company and co-produced, co-wrote, and performed in a sketch comedy web series.

What I Do for Fun: Writing, word games -- especially timed ones; reading; hanging with my family; mockumentaries; making up inappropriate, alternate lyrics to songs.

The Furry Members of My Household Are: Saffy (aka Large Marge, Pickle) is a floofy gray girl, born in 2000; Cosmo (aka Young Man, Crankypants) is a shorthair tuxie boy, born in 2001; Phoebe (aka Weasel, Bunny) is a calico tabby, born in 2005.

My Favorite Things to Write About Are: Silly cat humor, offbeat short scripts, parody.

My Pet Peeves Are: Auto-Tune, inconsiderate drivers, people who constantly complain yet do nothing to change their situation.

My Guilty Pleasures Are: Bad reality shows, digging into a log of chocolate chip cookie dough, ABBA

How I Deal with Cat/Dog Hair: Luckily, the cat who sheds the most matches the sofa.

What I Want to Be When I Grow Up: Laughing … always.

Every day I spend hours concocting weird storylines, inventing puns, looking at cat photos, writing nonsense, and maniacally laughing. Basically, I get to do the sorts of things that used to get me in lots of trouble in school. Now I get paid for my shenanigans. Living the dream? I think so.

What I Do for a Living: I write cat humor. I also recently co-founded a small production company and co-produced, co-wrote, and performed in a sketch comedy web series. Additionally, I work a few hours a week at a chiropractic clinic, which is a perfect job for a writer who hunches over a computer all week.
