The most frequent "funny" picture subject I get from my FB friends is a cat. And if you are one of my FB friends, then yes, your cat, cats, feline street gang is the cutest, coolest, smartest, funniest, most zen-like, and superheroish of all cats anywhere.
(Cat keepers need reassurance like that sometimes.)
The result of this glut of cat pictures is that we now have a glut of cat memes, where some clever FBer or blogger (don't you hate those guys?) puts words in the cat's... well they print them in the same picture with the cat, giving the impression that the cat has this to say.
For instance:
Hmmmm. They're probably right about that one.
Also possible.
This one is actually likely.
Maybe
I'm afraid that one might be true.
Really? I've never met a cat that wanted to accomplish more than acquiring the best nap spot in the house. Some of the rest of these are even more... Well, you decide.
Less than 5% of cats (and 4% of humans) ever listen to Ravi Shankar.
Some cats are suckers for Cadbury eggs.
Cats don't like practical jokes, but they're even less fond of meetings.
All cat armor must be warm and fluffy.
Less than 2% of accidental shootings are done by cats. And finally...
Well, okay. I'll buy this one.
And now, presenting the opposing point of view.
The easiest thing to find on Youtube - a cat video.
Just to show you folk out there that I'm not the
curmudgeon some people say I am, I'm doing a post of cute. So get
those ohs and awes ready, cause here comes a whole crapload of cute.
This has got to be a top candidate for picture of the
year. For you nonfootball fans who don't recognize the impersonation
– don't worry about it. Just think, Baby=cute. But enough of the
human species. For true footpounds of cute – you gotta go with the
animals.
Do elephants like hats? If not, this guy better worry,
because this little guy is going to get a lot bigger, and elephants
never forget.
I guess this cat is cute, but I'm not thrilled that he
has better facial hair than I do.
I'm not surprised the multi-colored looks confused. The
gray tabby is clearly cheating.
Mother cats are supposed to be cute, right? I mean
that's what I've been told.
Here's a bobcat with a deer. This is my last feline,
'cause even though I know people say how cute they are, I know this
cat is just holding onto the deer in case he gets hungry.
Here's another deer with a dog this time. I'm beginning
to think that deer are cute because they're not that bright.
Here's a canine that's a little confused. He knows he's
supposed to run down prey, but what comes next is still a muddle.
Alright, I have no explanation for this one.
For my money, dogs are the second cutest creatures
going. The cutest have to be rabbits. I think this picture sums up
my argument.
Yeah, you can't out-cute rabbits.
Our video is full of bunnies and just needlessly cute –
so much that I wish I hadn't eaten so much at lunch.
