She collected pamphlets, began intently reading, and (perhaps most importantly of all) became a convert to the rigorous cat-raising principles set forth in Anitra Frazier's "New Natural Cat," a popular (and strikingly Martha-Stewartish) guide for "finicky owners." My girlfriend's own cat obsession began several months before she actually got around to picking out her two cats at the shelter. Neither my girlfriend nor I were born "cat people," and even now (I'll have you know) we blanch at the term and its various unseemly connotations. How is it, I wonder sometimes, that I find myself poring over reviews of cat toys at two in the morning? Or staring with imbecilic bliss at pictures of tiny kittens with lusciously fluffy fur and big, pleading eyes? I blame the cat now sleeping in the other room and my girlfriend, who brought the magazine Cat Fancy into my life.
