So I just received an e-mail from something called “Killing Kittens.” A reader’s angry response to Ana Menendez’s pro- cat-eating column in the Miami Herald? Um…apparently not.

Killing Kittens, the most discreet parties for the most upmarket, young, good looking, liberated couples and single women invites you to its West End venue launch party.
Thursday 20th October
9.30pm - late
Dress code: cocktail dresses smart and masks (masks may be removed once doors close at 11pm)
Venue: revealed upon acceptance
£120 a couple/ £50 single girl - This is inclusive of entry and drinks all night
Apply: www.killingkittens.co.uk. The vetting procedure is strict and photos must be submitted.

Our West End venue in the heart of Covent Garden boasts a 30 person Jacuzzi (jacuzzi not a swimming pool…), sauna, large screen area, private rooms, DJ and bar.

Killing Kittens launched in 2002 and has since become a global phenomonome with the world’s rich and famous joining up to be part of an underground society that rivals ‘Happy Valley Kenya’, Berlin in the 30’s and Paris in the 20’s. Parties are held in private venues including St Tropez villas, Sydney penthouses and LA mansions.

Killing Kittens? Phenomenone?

Well, that is intriguing. I probably won’t be in London on October 20th. But I am flattered by the suggestion that I am part of an upmarket (i.e., rich), young, good-looking and liberated couple. Oh, that it were true….
