Cats Are Supermodels

Just in time for Christmas gift-giving, "Cats Are Supermodels" has been published by newspaper columnist Stu Bykofsky whose wit and wisdom exposes cats for what they are. "Like supermodels, cats are beautiful, sleek, self-centered, moody, aloof, usually sleepy, always hungry, but rarely willing to eat what's put before them." If that sounds like any cat (or supermodel) you know, then laugh and learn your way through this new book that combines feline fact, fiction, satire, opinion and jokes.

Cats Are Supermodels scatters little-known cat facts among observation, reporting and analysis of cats and their female servants. If you live with a cat and a cat is on the cover of your Christmas card and your cat 'signs' your cards and you downloaded the 'cat fishing' app on your iPad for your cat to play, this book contains immediate psychological support, says Bykofsky, an award-winning author.

For the purposes of storytelling, cat behavior is amusingly generalized, stereotyped and caricatured. Like the story of Thelma Jackson, a 29-year-old legal secretary who starved to death seated in her living room armchair, unwilling to move because her cat was comfortably curled up in her lap. Ms. Jackson was Catholic.

The book is intended for women who live with cats, women who plan to live with a cat, people who love cats and people who don't love cats, but need a thoughtful gift for women friends who do.

Dog lovers will enjoy it, too, because dogs are used as a foil and play a contrasting role in the book. Men will find insights into the feminine mind. High-fashion supermodels will not like it, but a) they can't read, b) they won't read and c) they don't like anything. They are just like cats.
