Today's Topic: Cats
For some strange reason, cats have become an Internet craze. Everywhere you look some cat is wanting a cheese burger. People take funny pictures of cats and write captions. Where do these people find these funny cats? Ive never seen a cat be so weird. Maybe I'm just weird. I don't know.
But I do know that there are whole websites dedicated to these furry little creatures. But don't let that fool you- not every lolcat or cat video is quite as funny as you were hoping. Some are just dumb. Come on people. At least film your cat doing something weird, not something normal.
According to UrbanDictionary.com, lolcats are: pictures of cats that make people forget about committing suicide.
The pro lolcat makers at icanhasheezburger.com do just that. Their silly little cats bring joy into people's lives and bring peace into the world. Wikipedia even says that interactions with cats may even improve health and reduce responses to stress. They even provide emotional support and help people deal with depression and loneliness.
Cats may seem like they own your house, and this may be why:

• Cats were considered sacred animals by the ancient Egyptians.
• In Japan, a symbol of good fortune is the cat Maneki Neko.
• Muhammad had a favorite cat named Muezza.
• In Norse mythology, Freyja (the goddess of love) rides in a chariot drawn by cats.

Also, check out this guy. He loves cats. And he's intense about it.

So turn that frown upside down and enjoy a few of the best lolcats and cat videos!
