Oh my... OH MY!!! *dies laughing at review* Don't know how I missed that the first time around, but I thank you mightily for the link and the amusement to start my day. And your author/cat/negative review behavior advice is probably the best I've seen. Publicizing one's wounded ego is just asking for more of the same from all those "heartless reviewers"... yeah. But hey, like mikkeneko said, attention, even negative attention, is still attention, and maybe that's the point. (Though wounded-ego-author would never admit to that, I'm sure.)
