Whiskered Moon Press is a passion project born from our love of creativity and our cats. We started this company because we love the opportunity to be creative, and because we absolutely love our cats.
Meet Pony (aka Turbo Horse), our adventurous calico, and Donut, our dapper tuxedo, the real stars behind every story, who inspire us every day. Plus their pal Miso, the sunny orange cat with a big heart.
🎨 Two illustration styles:
A Mindful Day With Miso is lovingly hand-illustrated with watercolors. The other books use computer graphics designed to look like hand illustrations. Both styles bring these furry friends to life in full color!
Each story is crafted to help little ones navigate big feelings, from making new friends to finding courage in the waves of life.
The Book Collection
20 to 60 pages of full-color illustrated adventures featuring Pony, Donut, and friends. Perfect for bedtime, storytime, or anytime.
Not a Horse of Course
Pony is definitely a cat. But try telling that to her.
Pony has whiskers, she purrs, and she might sneak up and pounce on her toys just for fun. But when she starts trotting around wearing a saddle and chewing on reins… well, her chicken friend might start asking questions.
✨ A playful, laugh-out-loud story celebrating imagination, identity, and being exactly who you want to be - even if that means pretending you're a galloping pony while still demanding snacks like a cat. Perfect for bedtime giggles and silly story times ages 3-9.
The Curious Case of Donut the Cat
A tuxedo cat, a banyan tree, and the magic of being loved.
Meet Donut, the sweet little tuxedo cat with a tiny white tip on her tail and a heart as big as the ocean. A cozy, feel-good story capturing the warmth of friendship and the wonder of nature.
✨ Donut spends a sunny afternoon surrounded by new friends. With a gentle girl smiling nearby and the ocean breeze rustling the old banyan tree, she discovers the magic of kindness, connection, and the simple joy of being loved. Perfect for ages 3 to 9.
Pony and the Donut Dilemma
Two cats, one big dilemma.
On a sunny Florida day, Pony and Donut discover that having a new family member can be a wonderful thing, even if adjusting isn't always easy.

A Halloween night full of treats, tricks… and a mysterious pirate ghost!
