So, a little while ago I was perusing my local book purveyor. Some of my friends and I enjoy looking through romance novels to read the rather saucy passages. We came across a book we thought was obviously out of place on those particular shelves.
The collection of stories “The Magical Christmas Cat,” turned out to be a romance novel of sorts after all. Written by Lora Leigh, Erin McCarthy, Nalini Singh and the incomparable Linda Winstead Jones, this collection contains stories that all focus on the universal topic of women’s cats turning into hot men during Christmastime and whisking them off their feet.
The promotional materials allude to the stories being about “a distinctly alluring feline touch.” I don’t know, all of this seems a little close to the Furry family for me. I don’t know if the lonely women reading these stories do any yiffing but I hope that their sheer desperation wouldn’t lead them to do more lewd things to their “distinct felines.”
Can you imagine the readership for this? Are we talking mid-40s, tweed-wearing, just plain sad or bizarrely sexually aroused or what? Interesting subject matter. Apparently it is pervasive enough of a topic to be carried in a mainstream bookstore like Borders or Barnes and Noble. I’m wondering if any of the women who read this are featured in this doc:

Remember all of those charming little folders and gorgeous stickers from our childhood? Lisa Frank is definitely emblematic of the youth of a certain set of young women who grew up in the 1990s. I miss those days when all you needed to be cool was a shiny, iridescent folder and a love of unicorns. Social mobility was marked by nothing more than school supply choice in those days. Ahh, even the commercials were better:

I remember a while back seeing some show about overweight pets on Animal Planet. There were fat Rottweilers, fat cats, maybe even obese birds, I’m not sure. Either way, it amused me that an entire show was dedicated to slimming down domesticated animals. Sort of like The Biggest Loser but for adorable pets. So, what does one do when a pet has taken on a little extra chunkage?
But like humans, not all pets are enthusiastic about their exercise regimen.
