Bailey
Author
Angie Bailey is an award-winning author, humorist, and Gen X pop culture enthusiast best known for Texts from Mittens—the delightfully absurd text message exchanges between a snarky housecat and his long-suffering human.
Her sharp wit and feline-fueled imagination have spawned books, calendars, and a daily cartoon that’s made cat lovers everywhere laugh and nod in knowing sympathy. She’s also the co-author of Little House Life Hacks, the creative cat wrangler behind Whiskerslist: The Kitty Classifieds, and the proud brain behind the 2026-2028 Gen X Trivia calendars—a daily dose of throwback facts and nostalgic nods for those who still remember what Aqua Net hairspray smells like.
Angie lives in Minneapolis with her husband and two cats, who are likely plotting their next text message as we speak.
