Kat Kong is a children's picture book created by Dav Pilkey.
The book parodies King Kong, depicted as a cat. Harcourt Brace & Company published this title in 1993. According to Pilkey, “The illustrations in this book are manipulated photographic collage, heavily retouched with acrylic paint.” [1] The photographs of the animals are of Pilkey’s own pets. The book is dedicated to Nate Howard, who tamed the "savage" cat. As a joke, the book has been rated TS, meaning “Terribly Silly.” The sequel to this book is Dogzilla, which spoofs Godzilla.
