Cats Cats Cats

After reviewing my previous writing, there is an element of definite sadness. That has to go.
I have been a huge fan of Stumble Upon (an internet-famous, addictive add-on for Firefox) for a while now; it's where I get the majority of the photos I use from. This has brought to my attention the extremely high proportion of cat images on the internet. It begs me to ask the question why? What is this obsession with our feline friends? Maybe it is because I myself do not own a cat, so I am not at liberty to understand this obscure phenomenon that has swept the internet like a hurricane. And yet, for someone who does not fully understand this trend, I am fluent in Lolcat and more than familiar with the likes of Ceiling Cat.
