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."

Aww, Maine mixes! Top-notch cats.
I have one, too. She weighs 19 pounds, gives kisses, sleeps on my pillow at night and will fetch her mouse when she wants to.

And the relevant part -- she chirps all the time. It's funny to hear such a tiny noise coming from such a big girl! She snores sometimes, too, which I find hilarious for some reason.

I maine coon mix is the same way. Snores constantly and always has. Glad to know that other maine coon mixes are so big. My vet bitched me out for letting him get so big. Um, there was no "let" in this. The cat is just genetically BIG. My family calls him buffalo cat because he isn't so much as a cat as a small buffalo. To me, size isn't a problem, until he decides to sleep on your legs.

Not sure how to describe the sounds he makes. He doesn't meow or yowl often. He makes more of a brrrrrrrrt sound.

He also acts like I never feed him. What really aggravates me is his primadonna behavior about water. IT MUST BE FROM THE FAUCET. Water bowls are for lesser cats. I've been having a battle of wills trying to break this habit. I see that he is drinking from the bowl I put in the tub but he still gets in my face and makes this odd sound like he's parched and I better get off my ass and get him some water pronto.

OUR CAT USED TO DO THE SAME THING. Only it was the faucet or from one of our FANCY HUMAN GLASSES. Which she would then knock over when done.

I miss her.
