The Cat-Meme Perspective

FELINE LOVERS BEWARE!





If cats were consciously aware of their current, excesive exploitation, I think its safe to say they would assume it sucks to be them. But why are there so many cats on the internet? And how have cats become the 'unintentional' pornstars of our modern generation? The viral trend sweeping the nation grants the artistic freedom for any person to take something ordinary (your lazy cat), and make it extraordinary (your lazy cat with bread around its head). As humans, it could be suggested that we have become so degraded and isolated that we must now look to the behavior of cats to entertain us, yet cats arn't aware of this large audience. The danger here is that an evolutionary shift could take place where cats suddenly develop the perception of self-awareness, thus creating an artificiality that is still amusing, but not artistically authentic. Similar to how some woman take advantage of certain "attributes" and "talents" by becoming pornstars, the universal declared opinion of not wanting to be a pornstar is secretly occuring within the framework of cats. Everyone loves to watch them, but soon their vicarious factor will diminish.
