In their constant quest to make sure the Thursday Styles section keeps its emasculated edge, today's Times slaps us across the collective face with the one thing more gay than your habit of reading Details in leather chaps. Ladies and ladies, meet the $4,000 illegal housecat:

Darjeeling and Bunnicula are two kittens who prefer shrimp cocktails and steak frites to pet food. They sleep on Burberry beds in their Greenwich Village apartment and wore matching crystal-studded collars until a few weeks ago, when they chewed off all the stones.

They are outlawed in New York City, members of a new designer breed growing in popularity called the Savannah, an offspring of a wildcat - the African serval - and the domestic house cat.

That sting you feel? That's the sting of being slapped across the face with the ultimate homo-trump card.

What's Up, Pussycat? Whoa! [NYT]
