Don't ask me how we discovered this, but last night Harlan and I stumbled upon this book.  This led us discovering an entire series of books (including reference books, mythology books, and comic books) about cats who apparently are formed in clans and battle with each other for cat supremacy.  Each clan leader-- with such original sounding names as FurPaw, Bramblepaw, Thornpaw-- leads their cat clans into various adventures and battles and conflicts with some apparent prophecy leading their way.  And, yes, they are illustrated just as seen as on the book cover.

Now, you maybe thinking "what the hell?"  as well as "how could anybody think these books are good?"  Well, according to the Wiki entry, one critic raved about the books for having cats that are "true to their feline nature," something I doubt as I'm pretty sure the cats in the book do nothing but sleep and chase toy mice.

And you maybe wondering what kind of audience their is for poorly written, awfully illustrated children's books about warrior cats and prophecies and all I can think of is that children of fat, wiccan cat ladies have have to have something to read.
