If You Laugh at the Cat, the Terrorists Have Won.
ICanHasCheezburger? is a blog of funny animal macros, mostly of cats, but sometimes gerbils, bunnies, dogs and monkeys, too. By "macro," I mean "a picture with a hilariously anthropomorphic saying on it," usually in child-like 'netspeak to add to the cuteness.

A couple of days ago, cheezburger posted this macro of a Siamese cat, ostensibly after having eaten something very sour, with the caption "ME NO RIKE REMONADE." Cue fan, which the shit hit immediately. 632 comments later...

Accusations range from "racist!" to many, many tl;dr essays, yes, essays in the comments, most of them preceded with the disclaimer/qualifier, "Well, I am [insert ethnicity here], so..." Dreama explains for us plebes that the macro is inexcusably racist which causes other members to suggest that she change her user handle to "Drama" (hee!). Jimmy compares the macro to the Japanese internment camps of WW2, which causes a LOT of people to go all "Bitch, are you for real?" The comments are the straw on the proverbial camel for Ben, who declares, "I am just waiting for the asteroid to come and kill the rest of you." rubbr tries and fails to be the voice of reason: "...it's only a picture of a cat..." Squalo says that if you're complaining about this and not doing something about the terrorists, you should be ashamed of yourself!11!1!!1

All I could think was: "Aww. Siamese kitties have the CUTEST meows."

That must suck, is it allergy to the fur?

Most pet allergies are to dander, saliva dried on the fur. I cuddle with them anyway, knowing I'm going to be itchy-eyed and sneezy. I've been known to call my Himalayan "The Allergen", adorable little biohazard that he is. :P It helps to wash my hands and face immediately after handling them, though. What's weird is that I have no allergy whatsoever to my Ragdoll-- I don't know what makes her dander different.

Well, we know Ragdolls are special. I know they don't moult as much as other breeds, that might be part of it.

Heh, it just might be a slight difference in chemistry.

It certainly is a mystery.
