SAM KATZ is gettin' around.

The four-legged furry feline is the main character of a new children's book, "Sam Katz on the Loose," about the adventures of a cat who jumps inside paintings when his owners aren't home.

The book, written by Frank and Vida Radice and illustrated by Charles Fazzino, has just been published by Random House. Its main character was not inspired by three-time Republican mayoral candidate Sam Katz.

However, Sam, the human, is looking forward to reading the book, which he's already ordered from amazon.com.

"Since the first Tuesday in November 2003, the 'real' Sam Katz has been anything but on the loose," says the two-legged Katz, who regrets that his four children "are too old now to sit in my lap and have me read to them."

While he was happy to talk about the cat book, he was not so keen on discussing whether he's considering another mayoral run in 2007. "I don't have much to say about that," Katz meowed.

We hear...
THAT NBC exec Frank Radice, his beautiful Persian wife, Vida, and renowned artist Charles Fazzino, have inked a deal with Random House to pen children's tomes about the Radices' "International Cat of Mystery," Sam. (The feline has been staying at the Radices' home in Nice staring at the Mediterranean for three months, getting ready for his big launch next fall).
