Surreal Story Hour: Byko tells single women, 'Cats are Supermodels'

POSTED: Wednesday, November 21, 2012, 11:00 AM
So this is the strangest thing to come to City Paper in a while. Stu Bykofsky. Has a book. About cats. Either that, or it is an amazingly late April Fool's joke. In any case, the Daily News columnist is envisioning "the feline Marley & Me" for this self-published opus, entitled Cats are Supermodels. We'll let you be the judge.
Press release follows:
Sorry for the impersonal email blast, but it is efficient. If you are getting this, it means we've had contact over the long years I have been at the Philadelphia Daily News. Perhaps I did a column supporting you or your cause. Perhaps I criticized your cause. Perhaps you were an expert or a source. Perhaps we were married or involved in some other unpleasantness.
                                                                        ---
Everyone knows I am a columnist, but you are among the first to learn I have a new book. "Cats Are Supermodels" is fact and fiction and humor about America's favorite pet — cats — and how they mirror supermodels. You will laugh and learn new things about our feline friends. It’s like the cat version of “Marley & Me.”
You can read a sample at www.catsaresupermodels.com 
The book is intended for everyone who loves cats, everyone who lives with cats and everyone who knows somebody who loves cats. (Even dog lovers, like me, will like it because canines play a contrasting role in the book.)
"Cats Are Supermodels" is $10.95, but for people on this “insider” list, there's a discount — $10 if you act fast. Your copy will be autographed.
Every cat lover will purr over it; it's a great Christmas stocking stuffer.
                                                                        ---
To get your copy, make out a check (add $2 for postage for a total of $12) to Stu Bykofsky and mail it today to:
Stu-niversity Press, Suite 2804, 1326 Spruce St., Philadelphia, Pa. 19107. Or use PayPal on catsaresupermodels.com
Orders will be filled quick as a cat.
Thank you – and meow.
Stu Bykofsky, Philadelphia Daily News
