Best-selling author and mortician Caitlin Doughty answers real questions from kids about death, dead bodies, and decomposition.

Every day, funeral director Caitlin Doughty receives dozens of questions about death. The best questions come from kids. What would happen to an astronaut’s body if it were pushed out of a space shuttle? Do people poop when they die? Can Grandma have a Viking funeral?

In Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs?, Doughty blends her mortician’s knowledge of the body and the intriguing history behind common misconceptions about corpses to offer factual, hilarious, and candid answers to 35 distinctive questions posed by her youngest fans. In her inimitable voice, Doughty details lore and science of what happens to, and inside, our bodies after we die. Why do corpses groan? What causes bodies to turn colors during decomposition? And why do hair and nails appear longer after death? Listeners will learn the best soil for mummifying your body, whether you can preserve your best friend’s skull as a keepsake, and what happens when you die on a plane.

Beautifully illustrated by Dianné Ruz, Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs? shows us that death is science and art, and only by asking questions can we begin to embrace it.

Warm days and lazy afternoons—there’s nothing like summer vacation. And unwinding on the deck, beside the pool, or on the beach with a good audiobook is simply one of life’s greatest pleasures.

There’s still plenty of time for enjoying a vacation—and finding the perfect listen to accompany you!

Editor's Pick

"I adore Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs?, and want to make it mandatory listening for anyone who wonders if kids are too young to be exposed to the concept of death. Author Caitlin Doughty shows how healthy and natural it is for young people to be curious about death, and that it doesn’t have to be sad or scary. As one of the world’s most renowned funeral directors, she gets asked a lot of questions on the topic, and it’s always the kids who ask the weirdest and most wonderful ones. In Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs?, she sets out to answer some of them—from "Can I keep my parents’ skulls after they die?" to "What would happen if you swallowed a bag of popcorn before you died and were cremated?". Dressed up as an entertaining romp through an offbeat subculture—and yes, Doughty’s pitch perfect narration is hugely entertaining!—it’s secretly a guide for how to become more comfortable with something we’ll all inevitably have to face one day 💀." —Rachel S., Audible Editor

Ever since I became a subscriber to ''Ask a mortician'' on youtube I have dwelled into the massive library of videos she has uploaded over the years - and there is just something about her voice, her humor mixed together with facinating science about corpses and our culture, history and rituals around death that makes it so darn interesting to watch. Then, I listened to 'Death in the afternoon' and was HOOKED! Eventually catching up to date with the podcast episodes on my bikerides to work I was craving more DEATHFACTS and storytimes to listen to on my daily bikeride to work.

And thank heavens - Caitlin had released her book in audioform! Now I have more fun deathfacts, science and philosophy about death and corpses that just fills my everyday. I realize this sounds absolutley ridiculous for a revew but... I think maybe that speaks for itself. You wont regret reading this book, and having Caitlin reading it makes it like a 4+ hour episode of ''Ask a mortician''! THANK YOU!

There is just something with Caitlin Doughty...

I have listened to this short but worthwhile book three times in the 24 hours I have owned it. The questions asked by children and answered by an expert writer and mortician are absolutely fascinating. I didn't realize that this was the same author of Smoke Gets In Your Eyes until starting to write this review. That book is also wonderful and challenged and changed many of my ideas about funerals and what I desire for myself when the time comes. I highly recommend both books.

A great listen for anyone curious

Caitlin Doughty offers detailed and humourous answers to questions about death, dying, and dead bodies from children. She delivers well researched answers to legitimately interesting questions with the same cheerfulness and dark humor that can be enjoyed in her Ask a Mortician YouTube channel. The answers are consumable for children but enjoyable and informative for all ages.

...but were too afraid to ask!

Delightfully morbid and playful, Doughty's book is packed with hilarious anecdotes on death and dead bodies. Entertaining and educational, Will My Cat... answers almost all of the questions you've ever had about dead bodies but were too afraid to ask. Dark humor and wit abound.

Everything you wanted to know about dead bodies...

I love Caitlin's approach to an often somber subject. While this book was to answer children's questions, I found it very interesting, informative and as always, humorous.

Death with a sense of humor!

That was really fascinating. I learned a lot about death: Scientifically, culturally, historically, currently, etc. There were some moments with dark humor and some moments that made me go, "Ew!"

If you're squeamish, maybe skip it. But other wise if you like learning about new things, this was a great book to listen to.
