Here is an exerpt from the paragraph in the inside of the booklet: "If you're wondering what cats have to do with new music...well it's because we love both and thought it would be a great opportunity to give our friends in the industry a chance to flaunt their beloved felines for CD cover immortality. ...", "... Happy listening and break out a bag of Tender Vittles for us. Steve *****, Marketing, Mercury/Polydor"
