Pride and Prejudice and Kitties: A Cat-Lover's Romp Through Jane Austen's Classic
Pride and Prejudice and Kitties: A Cat-Lover's Romp Through Jane Austen's Classic | Jane Austen, Pamela Jane, Deborah Guyol
32 posts | 6 read | 22 to read
A hilarious mash-up of cats and Austen. What if Jane Austen s "Pride and Prejudice" was told from a cat s point of view? On the heels of smash hits like "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" and "I Can Has Cheezburger," this hilarious mash-up by children s author Pamela Jane and photographer Deborah Guyol spins a fresh, quirky take on two of the things we just can t get enough of: classic cats and classic Jane. "Pride and Prejudice and Kitties" juxtaposes wacky photos of cats with the wicked humor of Jane Austen. Soulful Mr. Darcy gazes at Elizabeth Bennet in fascination; hysterical Mrs. Bennet yowls that no one understands her; somnolent Mr. Hurst passes out on the sofa after dinner; arrogant Lady Catherine hisses at Elizabeth. Each photo includes a hilarious caption that goes along with the text of "Pride and Prejudice," told from a feline perspective. "Pride and Prejudice and Kitties" is a book for cat-lovers, Austen-lovers, and people who love to laughin other words, just about everyone."

For #KittenDay a picture of Max as a kitten & more recently. He‘s 18 now, has a few health issues besides diabetes for the past 9 years, & I‘m not sure how much time we have left but I treasure the time I have with him. He‘s my boy.😽💙

The tagged book has been on my Kindle TBR for ages now.

Mehso-so

Cute and silly; it was ok. There were some parts that made me smile or laugh. It‘s a short, fast read. There were cat photos included with subtitled phrases from the book to fit the photo; the photos were taken specifically for the book. Some of the actual text of P&P was included, as well. It went back and forth between the characters as cats and the actual text (which didn‘t take away from the characters as cats – that is, it still “fit”).

#FallFinds

Max🐱thinks that Pride and Prejudice (and any book really) would benefit greatly from the addition of #felines 🐈🐈🐈so he thinks I should #buddyread this book with him since I‘ve already so many of the P&P adaptations & variations already. So #PemberLittens friends, I will be finally getting this one off of my #TBR stack this month.

#MagicalMay #AnimalOnCover

I was all set to choose book covers with a variety of animals on them but Max🐱insisted that we only put the “best” animal (in his viewpoint of course) on book covers. So here are some #catsoncovers from my stacks. Max🐱says that any book cover (& book) is enhanced by a feline presence!

rubyslippersreads Sadie and Nicky agree with Max completely! 😻 4y

I wanted to name these two Mister Darcy and Miss Bennett, but the hubs wanted to keep the names the Humane Society gave them, Oscar and Darla. Yuck right?! 😂 Since they are his cats, I acquiesced. #namesakes #austeninaugust @Crinoline_Laphroaig

Snapped this picture of a sign at Jane Austen House Museum. I would totally have a cat named Jane Pawsten. She would be deceptively sweet looking with a mischievous side. Alas my Mr. Darcy is not a fan of cats. 😼 #namesakes #janepawsten #austeninaugust

julesG That name! 6y
HOTPock3tt Lol! ❤️Where was the museum? 6y
Crinoline_Laphroaig @HOTPock3tt Chawton Cottage in England. It's where Jane lived, wrote and sent her novels out into the world to be published. Beautiful village. Just down the lane is where her wealthy brother lived at what is now called Chawton House Library. It's dedicated to research and preserving women writers. 6y

#FunFridayPhoto On the list of things that make me happy is my Max, 12 1/2, often grumpy, diabetic-so he costs a small fortune to keep in insulin, needles & special food, & very vocal about EVERYTHING... This week has been hard, full of tearful, anxious nights especially & so he's been sticking closer than usual. Last night I woke up from a bad dream to find him curled up next to me with his sweet face, just waiting for a snuggle. 🐱❤️#catsoflitsy
