Local celebrity of the feline persuasion, Cosmo the Boat Cat, has decided to take his whimsical stories to the people of the world. Cosmo, as he's known by his friends, presents the first tale of his adventures on the magical waters of Florida in the form of a children's book. Cosmo the Boat Cat like all self respecting cats, did not like getting wet. Imagine his horror when his person-friend Melody told him they were moving from dry land to a houseboat- on the water! Living on a houseboat was difficult at first for Cosmo but as more time passed he soon learned to conquer his fears and he consequently found a whole other world below the surface. New underwater companions included the manatees, sea turtles, dolphins, and huge shiny tarpon. Cosmo made all sorts of new friends while exploring the fragile and beautiful environment of the coral reef and he couldn't wait to tell everyone about it.

Cosmo The Boat Cat is dedicated to helping all creatures of Land and Sea. Cosmo the Boat Cat has teamed up with many local marine preservation and conservation charities to spread the story of appreciation and respect for all creatures on land or sea. A portion of Cosmos Book sales go toward local charities and causes. Here are some of the contributions Cosmo has made to the community through sales of his book.

COSMO STORIES:
An email from a 49 year old man nick named "Knuckles"

My name is John Hunt , and I live in NYC. I've been going down to key west for 15yrs or so and this year I bought a camper on a lot on Simonton St. The people I bought it from left a glass frame with a Cosmo the Boat Cat post card in it. For some reason I became so fascinated, buy the artwork that i couldn't stop looking at it. I decided had to have the book! I found it eventually- it was a small quest -but I found it - and I really love it ! I figure it is the art work and I would really like to see more of your paintings. The funny thing is that I am 49yrs old ,and that book makes me all warm and fuzzy, I don't get it!~
