Publisher's Note
Cat owners think their furry felines spend the day napping. But once they get a look at this hilarious new book, they'll know the truth! In Scratching the 'Net: Web Sites for Cats authors Jon Mathis and Mary Shomon reveal that kitties rule cyberspace with their own wild and woolly web sites. Knowledgeable cats start at www.Netscratch.cat, home-page for the feline browser of choice. Then they're just a mouse click away from Yamew!, a powerful search engine that will find every site on the secret World Wide Scratching Post known only to cats. Some of the feline favorites include "Hairball: Your Online Guide to Health", where cats can download articles including "How to Pretend to Swallow a Pill"; and the "Democatic National Committee" web site, where kitties can spy on the "contributions" being made to the White House litter box via the live DemocatCAM. Among the book's graphical home pages of more than so web sites, readers will also find a full range of the most popular web features including: online shopping at the "Sharper Claws Catalog" site; support group chats for cat-nip addicts at the "'Nip" web site; online psychic healing for everything from fleas to furballs at the new age "Tenth Life" web site; and a chance to download popular software like Catfight Simulator and FrontPaws at the site of software giant Micro-Fuzzy-'n'-Soft. And since cats like to be in the know, there's no lack of media web sites, including: www.CSPN.cat -- the Cat Sports Network; www.PBS.cat -- the Pussycat Broadcasting System; and the "New Yowl Times Review of Books" web site, among others.
You may think your kitty just spends the day napping, but once you read this book you'll know the truth-cats rule cyberspace with their own wild and woolly web sites. Readers start at the search engine YaMew!, and from there are just a mouse click away from the more than 80 graphically designed sites in this book. Browsers can go to on-line shopping at the Sharper Claws Catalog site or download popular software like Catfight Simulator at the Micro'Fuzzy-'n'-Soft site.
