Cath Kilgannon

Founder of Kitty K Rhymes

Cath has attended ‘The University of Life’. Always curious, looking for new adventures and a bit of a daredevil, Cath has lived quite an unconventional life. Born and raised in St Helens, she moved to Dublin as a young woman where she settled for some years, but has since travelled all over the world with her backpack doing canyon swings and skydives. She lived in Barcelona for 18 months in an apartment opposite the beautiful Sagrada Familia. She still misses the view from her bedroom window.

Writing and travelling are Cath’s greatest passions. Although currently based in Dublin, Ireland, if you were to ask Cath where she lives, her response would be “I’m not really sure! Why live in one place when I want to be everywhere.”

Cathy has recently published her children’s book, ‘Is Christmas Cancelled?’. She has also created other wonderful characters for her rhymes and stories, including her alter ego Kitty K, and Tavish the Travelling Tortoise.
