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."

I didn't know I was allergic to cats until I went to college. I came home for the weekend to the seven adorable kitties and had an uncomfortable night of sitting up in a chair trying to sleep. If I reclined too far I couldn't breathe.

Turns out that I'm basically allergic to everything with fur or feathers. I just didn't know it because I was always exposed to something furry (cats, dogs, horses, rabbits, gerbils....) and was used to not breathing that well. When I went away to college I got used to breathing properly and coming home let me get hit with all the allergens at once.

That said... I have three cats. OTC Claritin knock-off FTW!

I soooo hear you on that. I didn't know I was allergic to cats until I got my first one. As she was a rescue kitty from the pound, I wasn't about to return her. If it wasn't for the meds I'd be miserable.

My exact story, only replace cats with dogs. I always knew I was (fiercely, horrendously) allergic to cats.
