I read some crap today. It was a story called "Cat People" by Ann Beattie. Being a cat person, I thought this story would be excellent. However, it was not. It did not seem real at all.
First of all, there was a cat who got on these old people's nerves, so they chased it out of the house and started throwing stuff at it. Stuff like fruit. The cat went into the neighbor's yard, where a hot model was floating in the pool on an inflatable raft. The cat accidently jumped into the pool, and the model's bikini top was ripped, exposing her breasts. Then, the other neighbor's alarm went off, so the police had to come turn it off. Then, somehow a parrot that can count to 15 escapes from its cage. Then the police think that they are shooting a porn movie, because the model is topless now.
Then, the old lady comes and tells the narrator to take a kitten. The old husband drowned his four...the old lady was trying to give her four away.
The whole story seemed unreal. I am now disappointed.

You know, despite your dampened reception of this story, I kind of want to read it.
I want to know why the parrot can only count to 15.
