That Toxoplasma gondii parasite must be more widespread than I thought.
This headline from ABC News confirms my greatest fears:
CAT PARASITE AFFECTS EVERYTHING WE FEEL AND DO *
Well, jeez. Finding out we have no Free Will is bad enough, finding out that our once proud species is nothing but a pawn for a cat's parasite...that's just...depressing. But enough of the pity party... Let's look at the bright side, at least now we know the meaning of life!
The meaning of life is: TO MAKE KITTIES HAPPY!! YAY!
This kitty is not happy, please give her some catnip
In light of these revelations, I suggest that one measly shelving unit of Feline-Mysteries is not enough. We've got to put the CAT back into the Library CATalogue.
Here are some books by writers who are doing their part to help the human race accept its humble role in the ecosystem:
1. YOUR CAT'S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU: "WHAT PART OF MEOW DIDN'T YOU UNDERSTAND?" by Richard Smith
-Includes 'kitty IQ quizzes,' and recommends leaving "affectionate notes in the kitty litter" as a great way to suck up to your cat (and come in contact with the parasite in its feces!!) There is even a picture of a litter box on the cover. Mr. Smith, you really GET IT, don't you?
2. CAT HISS-TORY: A FELINE TOUR THROUGH THE AGES by Frederica Templeton
-We all know that History is usually written for men, by men, about men. Fortunately, the writer of this book aims to correct that. It'd be even better if she were a cat.
3. THE WARRIORS SERIES by Erin Hunter
-What kind of Warriors you ask? WARRIOR CATS of course. This YA series follows a "pet cat" who joins a feral cat gang called the Thunderclan and learns to become a fearsome warrior. If you check out the reviews, the readers LOVE this series. On the UK site, they say they love it more than Harry Potter. Well, of course they do, Harry Potter wasn't a cat.
