Silliness Cat media

AprilHare · 07-22-2009, 10:49 PM

I have been told reliably by a man on IRC that all books will soon be written on cats.
Since this seems a convenient feline solution to the publishing problem, I just thought I'd ask: what do you want to see published on cat first?

You know, I was going to respond but I noticed that my answers were sufficiently warped to bother even _me_.

Second that!

And I'd love to read all about the secret life of cats... (I must still equip my cat with a video cam so I can actually see where he's gone that day)
(something like this)

How about these?

Cats: Tales from the Litterbox

Cats speak out...
from the belly of the tigershark

On my 9th Life
Memoirs of a cat

I think I'm actually a minority here on MR though..... I'm not a cat person.

Humph, I'd be fascinated to see the idiot who tries to write ANYTHING on a cat? I mean, sedated? And what with? And how are people supposed to read it off the feline once it's then finished?
It sounds almost as silly as getting Pshrynk to write his stories on his boat....

Sharpie pen might work. Dunno if you'll need to sedate or not - be a sport and try it out for us, would you?
As for reading, I recommend holding the cat firmly but softly.
Pshrynk may have ideas..

You need to be a cat person to read a cat?

Not familiar with the titles mentioned - I was tempted to add '101 Ways to Skin a Cat' but felt divine retribution would soon come..

Don't be shy, more answers the better!

Well, since we can now inscribe the entire Encyclopaedia Britannica on the head of a pin*, I'd have thought that on the surface area of a cat (don't forget all those hairs!) we could inscribe all printed books that have ever been produced.

So - I want the entire world's literature on a cat.

One cat for each language's literature. That way, when someone asks, "Cat got your tongue?" we can say, "Yes, that calico over there does".

montsnmags · 07-23-2009, 07:55 AM

Or we could just limit the number of novels we write on a cat to single-digits, and, oh, I don't know, call it a "Cat-o'-nine-tales".

montsnmags · 07-23-2009, 08:01 AM

We could bring out "audible" versions, and say that it's "like hearding cats".
