Fat Cats Unlimited

By Elena Malec

"Fat Cats Unlimited" is a satirical poetry collection that uses anthropomorphized cats to critique wealth inequality, corporate greed, and global capitalism. Through colorful characters like Allister (a British shorthair CEO), Whiskers, Sasha (a Russian billionaire), and others, the poems lampoon the lifestyles of the ultra-wealthy-their private jets, caviar, tax havens, and political influence.

The work blends humor with social commentary, touching on topics like vulture capitalism, the military-industrial complex, political corruption, narco-empires, and the #MeToo movement. Written in playful rhyming couplets with a light, tongue-in-cheek tone, the collection presents these "fat cats" as a global elite of various breeds (Persian, Ragdoll, Chinchilla, etc.) who conspire across borders, indulge in excess, and prioritize profit over ethics. The final poem introduces "Zen of business," suggesting even mindfulness has been commodified in this world of "unlimited" greed.

It's essentially a whimsical yet pointed critique of neoliberalism and plutocracy, told through feline characters living extravagant lives.
