9th of September is the day of No Cats on the Internet. Urlesque is leading the call.
What i hope will lead people to look at how they view internet felines, and their control over our brains and behaviour. Let’s see just what effect it will have on society. Are you brave enough to go a day with no kitties on the web?
Cats rule the internet. Think about all the funny cat photos and videos that infest your IM conversations, Facebook walls and e-mail forwards from mom — our feline overlords have sneakily solidified themselves as a staple of the interweb humor we love so dearly. … Urlesque is organizing a web-wide ban on cat-related coverage on 9.9.09 — A Day Without Cats on the Internet. Why only one day? Well let’s be honest, that’s probably only as long as we’ll last before a hilarious video comes crashing into our inbox. But for one day, we will abstain… for you… for the cats.

I’m planning a day of civil disobedience against your no cats day. I’ll be posting cat photos every 15 minutes all day.
Great article and concept, but I don’t think that humanity can last for one day with out kitties on the internet. I mean for goodness sake, there is now an off-Broadway play based on the Lolcat website! The public psyche is all about cute cats. I can has Cheezburger?
We are very unhappy with your decision. That is why we have decided that Wednesday is now Caturday in addition to any normally scheduled Caturdays. This is in addition to the fact that every day is Caturday. So this is like Double Caturday. We will post three times the normal allotment of cats.
Anonymous,
well, if this isn’t proof of your brains being controlled by cats, then I don’t know what is!
Caturday hah! What ever happened to Walrus Wednesday?
The reason why you post 3x the normal amount of cats is because you are THREATENED. You fear! You are being controlled and are slashing out at the threat!
don’t smoke while using the internet. it can hurt your readers!
Hmm, i don’t think so
