Has there ever been a cat or dog or other animal that wrote a book or anything? Even a sentence?
Of course, here's one for example.
My doggo's diary desu
There's this well-known book that was written by a rabbit.
You might have heard of it.
"afsd;jjfaksdasfdjkadfsl;"
-Fragment attributed to Whiskers the Cat c. 2014 A.D.

I asked my cat to dictate me a sentence: miauw, miauw.
He may not have actually written this down but he certainly composed it. If it's good enough for The Prophet Mohammed pbuh, then it's good enough for my cat.
I read a short story by a horse they trained to speak German in 1929. It's only four sentences long though and it's *very* anti-Semitic.

Why not though? There have been cats that created paintings or wrote music. What is the huge difference between writing a piece of music and a sentence? In both instances you are structuring sounds together to make a completed sound.

I'm pretty sure the horse was actually saying "get rid of all the glue"

I'd like to hear a short summary.

The Life and Opinions of Tomcat Murr, ed. by E.T.A. Hoffmann (in Penguin Classics, tr. Anthea Bell).
Published first in the early 1820's has been called 'the most readable German Romantic novel, certainly the funniest' and it's by a cat, written on wastepaper (with the stuff written on the other side of said 'wastepaper' included as well).
It's wonderful, like most everything Hoffmann so much as touched.
