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."

*snort* Opinionated is telling me that I've closed the balcony door when it should be open. Waiting until my roommate has left and I've gotten out of bed to tell me that they're starving, starving like little kids in Africa zomg, even though my roommate feeds them before she leaves in the morning? That's just sneaky and evil.

I have yet to own a cat who isn't starving half the time.

I don't think they understand the concept of full.

I'd comment, but His Majesty hasn't eaten in almost TWO HOURS OMG and is staring at his food bowl like it's an abomination unto Nuggan.

I think I read somewhere that they actually do lack the mechanism that tells their brains that their stomachs are full, because in the wild they don't know when their next meal comes from. IIRC, this is why it's so easy to overfeed a cat and make him need Kitty Atkins.

What I'd like to know, if that's true, is why the hell the Microcat was such a prissy little high society belle about eating. No matter how much she loved the food she'd never eat more than a few bites at a time. She still wanted the dish constantly full, but it was like she just wanted it there to look at it. Yet the princess was also absolutely appalled when her food went stale (read: every single time) and would come complain to us about this substandard service.

Had a cat like that. She'd follow my mom (who, since she did 90% of the cooking, was automatically linked to food) into the kitchen EVERY SINGLE time she went in, meowing loudly like the spoiled greedy kitty that she was.



God I miss her. ;__;
