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.
In our house, there’s a standing order to leave the toilet seat down, because an uncovered toilet offers our cats an irresistible temptation to explore. Funny, that, given our cats’ aversion to water.
Luckily, I recently discovered what they find so compelling. Here’s your guide to “What Cats Do When Looking Inside the Toilet,” courtesy of you.uz.
Reading Books
Secretly drinking whisky
Underwater swimming
Catching dinner
Doing magic. Cats can do that too!
Spycat Stuff
Plumbing
Voting in cat elections
So, what do YOUR cats do with their heads inside the toilet???
