This cover is almost there – not quite – but almost.
One more ill-conceived element and it would be grounds for arrest. Or at least a very serious smack-down.

Please sir, just one more layer.
At one point I thought a pyramid had sprouted a belly button, then realized it was another layer with a guy (I think).
Pussy cats are normally use to refer to house cats (outside of porn and erotic literature), all of these are wild cats.
This author was clearly heavily influenced by the “Catwoman” movie with Halle Berry. The whole pyramid wild-cat shtick. Too bad, so sad. It sucked for Halle, and it’s sucking for this author, too. the BEST thing here is the wild cat head in the middle.
No, I don’t get that the author was influenced by Catwoman at all. However, I do think the author was inspired by Cat People. I saw both movies. It’s definitely the latter.
DED?! Really, with the pyramids? And which make of Cat People do you mean? The Natassja Kinski version, or the Simone Simon version? Nah, with all that skin, you mean the Kinski version, right?
Nope. It’s definitely Catwoman,, not Cat People. There was this whole shtick about the Egyptian Mau cat, yadda-yadda. Don’t you recall the opening credits, with the Mau cat and faux-Egyptian hieroglyphics? The older woman that Patience (Berry) meets tells her that the Egyptian Mau cats serve as messengers of the goddess Bast, and that she, Berry, is now going to have her catly powers.
The Simone Simon movie def. doesn’t seem to play in here AT ALL; the Kinski thing had skin, certainly (and that poster!), but I do remember the desert/tree/big cats scene. I suppose it could be argued that the desert invoked the pyramids, but I certainly don’t recall anything remotely Egyptian in the film?
I meant the Kinski version. Never saw the original.
Pyramids or not, this cover implies that there’s a whole lot of sex going on, which is what happened in Cat People.
Maybe it’s a hybrid of both films: the Egyptian mythology references combined with people that turn into large feline predators when they have sex. Without actually investigating further, like reading the blurb or, heaven forbid, reading the book, we won’t know.
Not to kibitz, but, actually, even in the Kinski version, there’s very little actual sex. Even implied. Lots o’sexy, and lots o’heat, you betcha–but she doesn’t have sex, because at some point in time, she figures out that something’s not right. She’s afraid to bonk her bf.
If memory serves, she does change–once–after finally boinking her bf. Her brother (so much ick factor there) wants to have sex with her, to keep the family line going, and she runs away from that. She has one joyful bonk, turns into a kitty-cat, and ends up in the zoo. No?

I lost count. Of everything. But I like the cat’s head bra. Using the lynx ears for straps is pure genius!

She must have gone to a Tom Jones concert and thrown her underwear at him, when he sang “What’s New Pussycat?”
I’d say this cover has pussy galore.
Really, for the author’s target audience, the picture of the naked woman would have been enough. She could have just stopped right there.
If it does not have them already, “Pussy Cat, Pussy Cat” needs a prequel “Faster, Faster” and a sequel “Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!” for perfection.
You won the internet for the day, Naaman.
