Bad Cat by Jim Edgar

Bad Cat by Jim Edgar

Not since Kliban has there been a cat book this edgy. Edgy as in Bosco, the demonic Siamese with the out-of-focus eyes, razor-sharp fangs, and his own idea of Feng Shui. Or the half-shaved freak named Mr. Fliegel, who looks like a cross between a poodle and a lion. Mr. Fliegel shrugs and says, Chicks dig me. Or Kato, resplendent in his Three Musketeers outfit: One for all, blah blah blah . . . now just get me out of this @#%&ing costume Or Clark, whose hobby is eating other cats' food. Tina, who somehow always just misses the litter box . . . sucker. And the guilty-looking Clarence, caught with a Barbie doll in flagrante delicto. Clarence's defiant defense: She was naked when I came in. . . .

Just as Kliban got us to think about the cat as something far more interesting than an innocuous house pet, and Suzy Becker taught us that cats possess a Buddha-like wisdom (together Cat and All I Need to Know I Learned from My Cat have more than 2.6 million copies in print), Jim Edgar reveals yet another facet of the ever-mesmerizing animal. Brooding, deranged, antisocial, these are kitties with attitude and borderline personality problems--ah, but what hilarious fun it is to read about them. All 244 photographed in terrifying full color in their most unflattering moments, with a quote plus vital stats: name, breed, age, and hobby. Get to know them. Then see if you can ever forget them.

Edgar, Jim: - Jim Edgar writes code at Microsoft and runs www.mycathatesyou.com, which he and old friend Alex Lebed started in 2001 and which Jim now runs himself, even though he's allergic to cats and neither owns any nor is owned by any.
