Millions of Cats Protesting Cat-Free Internet Day
Karen Nichols

This morning, Skeezix and I left home under the cloak of darkness to avoid the massive grass-roots protest on our front lawn against Cat-Free Internet Day. The hisses of protest were just too much for us, and Skeezix has a nervous disposition as it is. So we got the heck out of town.

Before things got too hostile, I talked to the household of tabbies above who had this to say about Cat-Free Internet Day:

Tigger: “So now, what are we supposed to do all day?”

Randy: “Why cat-free innerwebs? Why not dog-free innerwebs? Dogs suck and the innerwebs would be better without them.”

Fluffy: “Few people know that Al Gore invented the innerwebs specifically to give disenfranchised cats a voice. A cat-free innerweb even for just a day spells the end of civilization as we know it.”

Mr Whiskers: “It’s all that Obama guy’s fault. He’s a dog person.”

Our friend Gleek may have said it best, “A day without cat cuteness? Crazy!!!”

Indeed. As Skeezix and I glanced around the lobby of an undisclosed airport, we watched news coverage of Cat-Free Internet day, and frankly, the promoters looked suspiciously like dog people. Scouting the faces of travelers around us, all but one person had a gloomy, hangdog expression on his face. When I checked out Mr Happy, I saw he had icanhascheezburger on his laptop. Cheezburger defied the innerwebs to continue to post cute all day long.

Everyone else, deprived of Internet cat cuteness, looked like they had a case of the Mondays.

So folks, there’s your proof that there is no point if having an Internet if it’s cat free. No point at all.

    I refer you to my diary as to why the internet can’t function without cats. Glad to see the important media like The Cat’s Meow come out against such silliness as cat-free day!!

    Couldn’t have the internet without cats! Why, I believe the internet was created by kitties that needed to send out pictures and order treats in. Comedian Steve Martin wondered why there were so many charges for cat toys appearing on his credit card . . .

    I knew it was a Dog-spiracy! No sane person would not want to see Kitty cuteness!

    We meowsters often are more classy-cat than some of the nimnods on the Internet. Cats rule and we’re cool!

    What’s up w/cat free day on Internet?!?! that’s just plain dumb. a day without cats is like a day without air to breathe or smiles to share or birds singing in trees. it’s lonely without cats. cats are like a breeze of happiness floating through my day.

    I shall bury this nonsense in the litter box like the rest of the poop.

    To make up for it, find your best & funniest cat pics, add funny captions, and send them to I Can Has Cheezburger.

    We ARE the Interwebs.
    And our lowly servant adovCATes a (dog)-free planet. She’d be more than glad to volunteer for the eradication squad, too!

  26. Caspersmom posted a comment on September 14th, 2009 at 9:01 pm

    We don’t care what anybody says. Cats on the internet every day of the year. No such thing is there a day without cats.

    Its cat 24/7 365 here! Even if someone is not a cat lover (crazy!) they cant help but smile a a fluffy kitten or a silly kitty pose. There’s far too much animal cruelty on the net, so who cares if animal lovers want to share the love, whatever their pets or creatures are.

  28. Phyllis, Mrs. B and Matthew's mom posted a comment on September 15th, 2009 at 10:08 am

    A day without cats would be a terrible day. A day without dogs would be bad, but not as bad as a day without cats. Cats rule!!!

    Who in their right mind would even try to tell ppl what they can and can’t share with friends on the net? How about a NO SPORTS day? or a NO PORN day? No cats? that is just WRONG! Makes one’ Paws ‘ for thought as to how many liberties we are supposed to give up to please these morons who are so easily offended. Can I get an AMEN?!
