Full Name (Including Embarrassing Second Names):  Angela Bailey

Location: Minneapolis/St. Paul area

Where You Can Find Me on the Internet: My blog, Catladyland; the Catladyland Facebook page; Texts from Mittens; and Twitter. 

What I Do for a Living: I write cat humor (for real). I also 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 grey 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.
