I don't want to get all conspiracy-theory about this, but it's
getting very clear that the internet is run by cats. First they took
over YouTube, then they wrested control of internet meme-production. Now
they have their own special day. Yes, in America, if not the world, it
is National Cat Day.
How should people celebrate? Well, if you're in New York you could try getting on-demand car service Uber to deliver kittens to your office.
For $20 the car service will bring you up 15 minutes of kitten love
with all proceeds going to a local animal shelter. In the interests of
research I spent an hour trying to get some kittens delivered to my
office to no avail. Somebody at Uber needs to realise that, when it
comes to kittens, you should never over-promise and under-deliver.
While
National Cat Day was officially set up in 2005 with the laudable twin
aim of "celebrating the love of cats" and helping find homes for
thousands of shelter animals, every day since the birth of social media,
is basically cat day. Our feline friends have effectively trounced dogs
in the ratings war for most popular animal content online. So how did
cats win the internet when most people find dogs more adorable? Nobody
quite knows, however a few theories abound.
Well it's official. You're all a bunch of crazy cat ladies (and dudes)!
And we mean that as a compliment, naturally. To celebrate National Cat Day, we asked you to tweet or Instagram us pictures of your cats. We received thousands upon thousands of pics.
We
saw old cats and young cats and fat cats and furry cats and one cats
and two cats and three cats and more! We saw Tabbys and Bengals,
Persians and Siamese. We even saw a few hairless cats and one pink one.
And you go crazy for them! We don't blame you.
