Cavity Cat has a name and Cavity Cat has a game. Late at night, while you are sleeping, Cavity Cat is active. He comes in your mouth. He does his work. He does not explain himself and he does not apologize. The cavities are discovered at a later date by a dental professional who has questions you cannot answer. This book documents Cavity Cat's activities in illustrated cartoon form with the cheerful educational tone of a dental hygiene pamphlet that has taken a very hard left turn somewhere in the production process.
This adult parody book sustains a premise that is technically, defensibly, completely about a cat who causes dental problems, while being received by every single adult who reads it as something else entirely. This is intentional. The author knew. Everyone involved in producing this knew. The question is whether you know, and whether knowing stops you. Based on the fact that you are still reading this description, the answer to the second question is no, and that's the correct answer.
This Book IS For:- Adults who appreciate a running joke that commits hard to its premise and never blinks across an entire illustrated book
- Anyone who has ever been told by a dental professional that they need to do better and responded with visible indifference
- Fans of humor that operates in the gap between what is technically on the page and what everyone in the room is actually hearing
- Gift-givers who want something to hand to a dentist, dental hygienist, or anyone in oral health who claims they've heard everything
- Dental professionals who believe their field should be treated with consistent reverence at all times including recreational reading
- Anyone who found the title description already exhausting and is uncertain why they continued reading this far
- People who need their cat characters to have motivations that are strictly, literally feline in nature
- Anyone who already has a difficult relationship with their dentist and cannot afford to make it weirder
- Gifts for dentists and dental staff... it will either be displayed in the break room or used as a reason to discuss your file
- White elephant exchanges where someone will read the title out loud and the resulting silence will be priceless
- Bachelorette parties, because Cavity Cat fits into more bachelorette scenarios than anyone expected or planned for
- Any occasion where the gift should make an impression that lasts longer than the appointment that inspired it
Your dentist's waiting room has magazines from two years ago, a fish tank, and pamphlets about gum disease that nobody reads. Imagine instead: this book, on a side table, available to patients. That is a dental practice worth going to. You could make that happen for roughly the cost of a tube of whitening toothpaste that will also, ultimately, fail to address the cavity situation.
Cavity Cat is coming regardless. He comes every night. The only question is whether the person you give this book to is prepared for him or not. This book prepares no one but informs everyone, which is the most honest thing that can be said about any dental education material. Buy it. Floss. Schedule the appointment. Cavity Cat is already in your calendar.
