The Ultimate Cats' Catalog [Paperback]

Ray Strobel (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 1, 2004

The Ultimate Cats' Catalog pokes fun at the concept of cats as consumers. Products offered in this mock catalog range from the silly to the grotesque, with hilarious full-color photographs and illustrations.From the comfort and convenience of her own home, kitty can order the Endless Curtain, a set of 500-foot-long drapes mounted on a roll that will enable her to have a continual supply of fresh curtain on which to sharpen her claws. Or she may choose the Temperature-Controlled Mouse Cellar, perfect for storing dead dry-iced mice under ideal conditions to keep them fresh for months on end, offered in a variety of sizes and configurations. Glamour-Cat© Whisker Extensions will appeal to any cat's vanity, as they are available in multiple colors and come in Alley Cat or Vamp lengths. And for the carrion connoisseur who's stuck in the city, the Urban Cat's Roadkill Press adds "real highway taste and texture" to the catch of the day. In a world where cat owners can actually buy such real products as Halloween costumes, greeting cards, and gourmet baked goods created just for felines, The Ultimate Cats' Catalog is a hilarious, tongue-in-cheek gift for people who indulge their cats.

A very funny book. I'm not even a Cat person and I think it's great. Ray Strobel has a great sense of humor and a deep understanding of the Cat "mind". I'm hoping a dog book will be next on his list. Makes a great gift for any Cat lovers on your shopping list.

I've purchased this catalog for several of my cat loving friends. They all loved it. It's written "for cats, by cats", and one can just imagine that it's so.
Entertaining for humans, but just in case, maybe keep it out of your cat's reach.

I loved this mock catalogue and everyone I've shown it to loves it also! For the cat lover this is a hoot, and each time I read it over I see something else funny that I missed! A great gift!
