definecat[Video starts with a placard that reads "Important Announcement (From Your Feline Overlords)" that is then pulled away to reveal Sleeper, looking very prim and dignified, even wearing a pair of glasses and a collar and tie for the occasion.]
While most cats can't talk, I am here on their behalf with an important announcement. Tomorrow, AUgust 8th, is International Cat Day. That means that if you have a cat in your life, you should be celebrating it.
And if you don't have a cat in your life, well, why not? There are plenty in need of good homes with lots of love. Mostly because of a surfeit of feral cats because people don't exert population control on their pets. But that means that there are plenty of cute kittens and laid-back seniors and everything in between, all ready to ignore you unless it suits them, or it's dinnertime.
And speaking of dinner, unless that cat is yours truly, never feed them chocolate. Best diets for cats are raw meat diets because they, unlike humans, are obligate carnivores. That means the domestic cat cannot live without meat in their life because that's the only way they can get certain essential vitamins, minerals, and amino acids.
On the other hand, things like catnip and other smelly treats are wonderful, and can't actually be overindulged in. The worst your cat can get from getting too deep into the 'nip is a good nap from wearing themselves out.
So go, get your cat a new toy, a treat, some extra pampering, and celebrate that they have chosen you to be a part of their lives.
[A pause, as they let the message sink in.]
And now I return you to your regularly scheduled diet of cat memes.
