Hot. Messy. Emotionally damaging in a good way. These are the books I read when I want tension, banter, spice, and maybe a little bit of emotional pain.

Spoiler: it’s mostly vibes and ways to ignore me in comfort. These are the cozy, chaotic, and actually useful cat mom picks your feline overlord would absolutely add to cart (if they had thumbs and a Wi-Fi connection). Everything here is available at Target or similar stores — aka easy to grab, easy to love, and cat-approved (eventually).
