Meow: holiday shopping for your cat

Sometimes Salon is serious and politically relevant and feminist and excellent. Sometimes it's just all about cats. Yes, the site is currently running not one, but an entire three-part series of articles on gifts (bargain, mid-range, and luxury) you can buy for someone who loves cats. Seriously though, most of these holiday goodies are more of a treat for the felines involved than the people who feed them. Really, disguising animal presents as people presents? That somehow seems low. Still, some of Salon's selected cat gifts are to good to not giggle over. Here are my favorites:- The FURminator, a really, really intense brush you have to be careful not to use too aggressively on your furry friend, otherwise you might leave them bald. Fun!
- The Modern Litter Cabinet, a device that makes your cat's box o' poo look like a swank, minimalist foot rest, or possibly an ironically sadistic toaster. At least it'll look nice, even if it doesn't smell nice.
