Answer: Fashion

He worked in art in "The Cat Who Could Read Backwards", interior design in "The Cat Who Ate Danish Modern," and Gourmet Food in "The Cat Who Saw Red." Never fashion though; he'd have hated it.

2. Why is Qwilleran's name spelled with a "qw" instead of a "qu?"

Answer: It's a true Danish spelling

Many people comment about his name and its spelling. Also, his name is shortened to form the title of his article in the "Moose County Something" to form a cute title.
