A recent grad falls for her boyfriend’s cat and makes a surprisingly decent case for feline retirement. Kitten is funny and sharp on class and dependency, but I might have been the wrong age for this debut novel.

Let’s face it—cats already strut around like they own the runway, but what if they did?! Here's a look at what different cat breeds might rock on the catwalk.
