I don’t know the answer, but I do know if it weren’t for that fact we wouldn’t have images like this–and the world would be a lesser place:
UPDATE: Not surprisingly, it turns out you probably shouldn’t spook your cat with cucumbers. Apparently they see them as possible snakes and can develop permanent cucumber-related trauma.
I am curiously tired this evening. Enjoy this amusing cat gif instead of an actual post. And when I say amusing, I actually mean creepy.
I’m feeling out of sorts at the moment and so I’m not writing anything today except in the technical sense, as these are words and they do constitute writing.
Instead I present a cat that is clearly not feeling out of sorts:
I have nothing pithy to offer at the moment so I turn to the Internet’s vast stores of animated cat images. I give you cat with jaunty-angled hat.
MRW I see some of the garbage you Imgurians upvote to the front page.
I probably don’t have to say don’t read the comments, but don’t read the comments.
There are some things you can search for using Google and pretty much guarantee the results will not disappoint. One is “funny hats”. Observe:
I especially like the use of the drawstrings as legs.
The alt-text on this one would have to be “butt head”.
These are two examples. There are millions more. I am not kidding. The phrase “funny hats” yields over 450 million results. I don’t know what this means about our world but it simultaneously delights and depresses me.
And then there is perhaps the most-searched term on Google: cats (551 million results).
But cats alone, while adorable, is a bit plain for a search. “Funny cats” on the other hand yields 378 million hits, including these:
Note that nearly every image of a cat with a caption is incredibly unfunny, almost as if by design. This is about 377,999,950 of the images by my rough estimate.
Again, I’m not sure what the takeaway is here. We have a treasure trove of material on the web and the means to find virtually all of it instantly and vast amounts of this material and related searches consists of things like funny hats and cats.
In conclusion, I leave you with this, a cat wearing a funny hat:
The hat’s not really that funny but cats apparently do not take to goofy headgear the same way people do. Probably because of all the clawing and biting.
