I bought this book on a whim because I saw it on tumblr and I am so happy I did. It is an anthology of Lesbians writing about how important cats are to them, published in 1991. It contains exactly the kind of earnest and wonderful content one would expect of such a book
All cats mentioned are named and they have names like Amazonia, Wicca and Paulose Lautrec
There is a chapter that is just a very earnest letter exchange between the staff of a lesbian book store and a patron who is allergic to cats, that ends with both sides trying to bridge the gap between humans with allergies and the right of a cat to live where she chooses (the cat gets brushed daily as part of the compromise)
There is a chapter written by an ex-nun who says that her three cats (Mabby, Annie and Buber) taught her how to resist the patriarchal pressure to obey.
The following quote is 100% serious and unironic, “I am aware that patriarchal society gives the lesbians in our household life-and-death power over the cats. I don’t like that but I continue to keep cats in my home because the alternative is worse”
The two author photos on the back have them with their cats.
IM SO HAPPY
This is so awesome. And so early-90s-lesbian I am having flashbacks.
This jacket includes some bright color block patterns that are very 80s-early 90s. It’s for Young Adult and Adult female sims and is a conversion of Alexaarr’s Sims 4 version.
