Cat page expanding exponentially! This was posted a while back, but every time I go back, it's doubled in size! Dear God! When will it stop!?
When the internet becomes self-aware, it will have the personality of a cat.
It will want constant massage from us. Except when it doesn't.
It will want to knead its too-sharp claws into our too-soft flesh at will.
It will kill things, leave them messily at our doorstep (or worse, underneath our computer desks or beds) as a "gift", expect us to absolve it of its murder, and then clean the carcass up.
When we leave it for extended periods of time, it will pee all over and/or rip to shreds every personal item we hold dear.
It has already been scanned, so no need for that.
It will take up an interest in bonsai.
It will want us to open its cans of nourishment, then expect us to clean up its smelly shit which it will, perhaps thankfully, most likely leave in a box filled with sand. The irony is delicious to it. Especially if the sand "clumps".
Years ago, I linked the cat and moose picture in a comment on MetaFilter. A Canadian member--I don't remember who anymore--popped up and said they knew the guy who took the picture. I just did a search and couldn't find it but it's in there somewhere.
I don't care for the captioned pictures very much. And, boy, that I'm in ur stuff is way past the stick a fork in it, it's done stage.
