(Includes an interview with a clinical expert on how to discuss these issues with young people)

In Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs?, (Winner of the 2019 Goodreads Choice Awards for Science & Technology) Best selling author and mortician Caitlin Doughty answers the most pressing, morbid, yet often humorous questions that have come across the mortuary. Her open, honest, and morbid sense of humor make for a read that will leave you informed, laughing, and a little more at ease knowing that those questions that crossed you mind aren't all that abnormal.

Nothing is off limits while Caitlin addresses questions such as:

  • Can I give grandma a Viking Funeral?
  • Do you poop when you die?
  • And, of course, Will my cat eat my eyeballs?

This edition also features an interview with a clinical expert on how to discuss these topics with young people.

Work Description

• What would happen to an astronaut’s body in space?
• Will I poop when I die?
• Can we give Grandma a Viking funeral?

Everyone has questions about death. In Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs?, best-selling author and mortician Caitlin Doughty answers the most intriguing questions she’s ever received about what happens to our bodies when we die. In a brisk, informative, and morbidly funny style, Doughty explores everything from ancient Egyptian death rituals and the science of skeletons to flesh-eating insects and the proper depth at which to bury your pet if you want Fluffy to become a mummy. Now featuring an interview with a clinical expert on discussing these issues with young people—the source of some of our most revealing questions about death—Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs? confronts our common fear of dying with candid, honest, and hilarious facts about what awaits the body we leave behind.
