Nobel laureate Doris Lessing's book On Cats (affiliate link) is marketed as suitable for cat lovers, but it's not. It's really rare for me to leave a book unfinished, but this one had no other choice.
Already in the first pages, Doris tells how she shot a cat, and how her family systematically killed cats.
Those who read the book to the end have said that Doris probably felt like a cat lover, but she wasn't. Killing cats and kittens, and opposing cat sterilization made her a cat torturer.
I know times were different back then. I know my own grandmother drowned kittens. But I still can't or don't want to read about this topic.
Literally sickening work.
