I claimed this book when we culled the bookshelves in my youngest’s bedroom in January. I actually thought I was reclaiming the book because it looks like the kind of thing I would have bought and reported on, only to have my young boys poach the book from my shelves and put it into their rooms. But, maybe not: I don’t see a mention of the book in either a Good Book Hunting post or a previous book report, so maybe it was one of the things we picked up for them at ABC Books when I dragged them up there before they got phones. Well, it’s mine now.
So: This is an official ICanHasCheezburger.com book. You know, I first mentioned that site on this blog in May 2007, so not quite twenty years ago. Clearly, I was or am the target market for the content: Pictures of cats with captions. Although this book is about kittens specifically.
Okay, amusing. I have to admit that I’ve not hit that Web site in a long time, even though in 2007, the olden days, I hit it several times a week. Maybe the modern stream of memes on social media and in meme posts on blogs have taken their place.
But this cute little book was a quick browse, and as I said, amusing. And the authors/proprietors have had better luck than I have trying to capitalize on kittens and cats (of Nogglestead), which include a soon-to-be defunct line of t-shirts at NicoSez.com (ah, gentle reader–am I giving up by planning to not renew for a third year of Web hosting and expensively provided SSL management? Yes, yes I am; although my intentions and my actions often do not coincide) and two apps (Nico’s Kitty Translator and Feline Fly Assassin, both featuring my cats). So they’ve got that going for them, which is nice.
And I have 39 books read this year. 100 is within reach!
