\"Book<\/a>I have an embarrassing and stunning admission to make: I have read this book<\/a> twice even though I didn’t like it. Not exactly. Let me explain.<\/p>\n

This book is based on a desktop calendar that features pictures of cats, sometimes doing things that make them look a little guilty, accompanied by qouted captions where the cat is saying something. And they include the cat’s name, age, and hobby. Here, have a taste:<\/p>\n

\"Bad<\/p>\n

Obviously, this one would have come from December in the calendar.<\/p>\n

Most of the captions have a sexual or drug use angle, and all of them are not funny. As a matter of fact, some of them are so not funny that they’re enjoyable for the spectacular badness. Although it’s been seven years since I had the calendar, I remembered some of them.<\/p>\n

But this collection is really the sweepings on the floor of cat caption industry. Your Facebook wall or Twitter feed have better examples of the genre. <\/p>\n

This book was a Christmas gift, as was the desk calendar. But at least with the book, I was able to flip through it in a couple hours instead of over the course of a year, one dreadful cat sex caption at a time.<\/p>\n
