SUNDAY FUNNIES: WHEN CATS RULED THE WORLD

 Hello Everybody! Piper D. Katt here!
My ancestors claim that us cats once ruled the world. 🌍
I'm not sure about the accuracy of that statement, but I have mixed feelings about whether or not felines should be in charge today.

On one paw, I like to think things would be a whole lot better for everybody, not just us cats.
On the other paw, even with nine lives, who would want all the hassles involved with the job?

The only wars would be over sharing cats toys, making sure everyone got enough to eat and was in a comfortable space for their latest nap.
Yet when I think about all the stuff felines would have to deal with just to get to that point.πŸ™€

Going through history...
Once upon a time the ancient Egyptians wrote on walls and worshiped us cats.
Today everyone's on Facebook or some other social media platform doing the same thing, so what's changed?

We're smart too.
Let's take a look at Technology.
Lasers were once a huge scientific breakthrough. Now you humans use them to play with us cats.
Of course none of you seem to realize how frustrating it gets after a while when we fail to capture that elusive red dot.

Computers were once a scientific breakthrough too. Now you use them to look at cat pictures.
My conclusion is that Science was made by and for cats.

Need further proof cats are smart?
Despite what some people claim in these modern times, the world can't be flat.
If it were, us cats would have pushed everything off the edge by now.

A PAWS FOR CUTENESS.
We have you folks paying all our debts.
After all, your cat(s) own your home.
That is why the word “homeowner” has “meow” in it.

You folks may have invented sofas, chairs, beds, etc. But us cats named everything.
Do you occassionally complain about loose feline hair all over your stuff?
Why do you think we call it furniture?😼

You may not know this, but us cats secretly invented Amazon.
After all, we had to have some way to get more cardboard boxes to sleep in and play with.

You humans should also be glad we cats can't talk because we know too much about you as it is.
Just keep feeding us and make sure our litter boxes are always clean if you know what's good for you.😼
And if you ask us to answer what "3 - 3 = " is, we'll say nothing.

So on that note♫, take care.
STAY SAFE!
Koda Canine will be here next Sunday for his monthly Weekend Pupdate.
Our Editor-In-Chief will be covering the August 31 installment because of the Labor Day holiday weekend here in the United States, but Koda and I will be back the following Sunday for our annual Back To School special.
Otherwise, have a great week and please be back next time for more Sunday Funnies!—PDK.
