"Meow meow" means please don't kill me, you crazy bitch!

This is Masako Bando. The 48-year old award-winning novelist qualifies her self-proclaimed love for animals ("It is because of my pets that I'm able to prevent my "fountain of love" from running completely dry") by throwing newborn felines off of cliffs in Tahiti and writing about her insights on life and death. Her defense? That throwing kittens is no different--in fact, less inhumane--than the spay and neuter standard. Good luck selling that story to the French Polynesian government, lady. Cuz I think they're planning to prosecute you. Haruki Murakami's Kafka on the Shore is a great novel with a intriguing cat killer in it. But unlike Ms. Bando, Murakami does not actually kill cats.
