Cats Hate Reading

Whether it's jealousy or ignorance, they do. Submit any proof you have. Please note the book in question and why you think your cat does not like it.

Iliena clearly hates Earth Afire by Orson Scott Card because she had it pinned to the couch after I stepped away to refill her water fountain.

Siblings Jeoffry and Jujeh chubbily team up out of dislike for Heinrich Heine’s Harzreise/Journey to the Harz. That cynical first line about Göttingen being renowned for its Bratwurst and its University still wasn’t meat-focused enough.

Xander hates Mercedes Lackey’s Last Herald-Mage trilogy, specifically Magic’s Price, because it means my attention isn’t on him.

Dan Fogelberg ambitiously hates several books at once, including The Sixth Extinction by Elizabeth Kolbert and Lies We Tell Ourselves by Robin Talley. Good work, Dan Fogelberg.

Blog mascot Jiaozi hates Your Band Sucks: What I Saw At Indie Rock’s Revolution (But Can No Longer Hear) by Jon Fine. Let’s just say that the underground scene is not her thing.

Munchie thinks that paying attention to her is far more important than anything Zadie Smith has to say in White Teeth.

The only thing Harley likes about Tom Robbins’ Jitterbug Perfume is how soft page 3 is. Otherwise, he hates it.

The Dance of Legislation: An Insider’s Account of the Workings of the United States Senate, by Eric Redman. He’s already seen “I’m Just a Bill,” why read this?

[catshatereading]

maupertuus hates Lyndsay Faye’s The Gods of Gotham - might be because he’s an anarchist and doesn’t agree with the formation of a police department, but maybe he’s just plain mad that the manuscript seems to be getting more quality time. Then again, maybe he lurves it cause it’s all papery and cozy and close to nice me.

This is my Aruba. I was trying to read Chuck Palahniuk’s Invisible Monsters. This is what I get for calling her into bed with me to snuggle.

This one is a double whammy — Gino hates reading, of course, but he also hates my cooking, since he chose to lay all over my copy of the Vegetarian Times Cooks Mediterranean, by the editors of Vegetarian Times.
