Last night, I went to the World Famous Pub Quiz at Rocky Sullivan’s in Brooklyn, accompanied by my husband and some friends.

I tried to impress my trivia team with even MORE Ugly Bat Boy trivia (“He lives in New Hampshire!”) but alas, Scott and I may have been the only two people present who were obsessed with the alleged world’s ugliest cat.

I wanted to point out that Menandcats.com favorite Tom Cox has a great article in the Guardian about how much he loves his cats, even as more people are abandoning their pets (up 57% in the UK). Tom would never abandon his cats. He is an unabashed cat man with six cats!
