Murderously adorable

Man, Jonathan Franzen really doesn't like cats. According to this article in New Republic, Franzen thinks the time has come for cat genocide: “The bird community’s position is, we need to get rid of the feral cats, and that means cats must die.” He's also a big fan of the upcoming book Cat Wars: The Devastating Consequences of a Cuddly Killer, written by Peter P. Marra and Chris Santella, which "tracks the historical relationship between man and cat, and argues that a small, powerful cat lobby stymied legislation that would benefit humans and birds (mostly birds) everywhere."

Sorry, guys. Cats may be sociopaths, but their cuteness will always win out over birds, which are are like tiny, creepy dinosaurs.
