4/5 Stars: ‘Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs? Big Questions from Tiny Mortals About Death’ is an Adult, Non-Fiction Science Novel by Caitlin Doughty and illustrated by Dianné Ruz; ‘Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs?’ educates the public on the realities of our common end by Caitlin Doughty, a mortician and funeral director. It is a humourous take on death, with thirty-five questions about death posed to Caitlin by children, or as her book subtitle refers to them as, tiny mortals. It reinforces, in a friendly voice, that it is okay to be interested in death, you are curious. The questions and their answers range from the humourous to the gruesome, whilst remaining respectful of the dead. Underneath Doughty’s humour is a tenderness, and perhaps a touch of sadness, for most people’s inexperience and inability to deal with death. Her whimsy cuts through the social contract we all unwittingly signed that demands we tip-toe around death with an approved list of similes and platitudes. Doughty dispenses with the rigmarole and is unafraid to provide a shock to our system in the search for understanding.
