UPDATE: The contest has ended.
Molly Katz' wonderful book, 101 Reasons To Dump Your Man and Get a Cat, is simply too good to keep to myself. Now is your chance to win a free hardcover copy of the book! Read below to find out how!
With the spirit of the book in mind, all you have to do is leave comments for this post in which you state your reasons as to why someone should leave his or her significant other and get a cat. You can only post one reason per comment, but you can post as many times as you want! After you leave your thoughtful and inspiring explanations as to why felines make better life partners, you must visit the previous commentor's blog and leave a comment for him or her. Make sure you let them know in your comment that Zeus Is My Reason For the Season.
To win, simply have the most reasons posted here by Wednesday at 5:00 p.m. CST. Five winners will be chosen, and my human pet will contact you for your personal information. Make sure to spread the word about the contest on your own blog to encourage more people to play!
Come back often! Don't forget to hit refresh! Oh, and that reminds me! Enjoy some refreshments while you play. I have brought together some fine cavier, tuna, a delightful cheese tray, Carr's crackers and biscuits, freshly baked brownies, Oregon Chai tea lattes, coffee, sodas, and of course, milk for all of my fine purring friends.
