Apparently the UK is on the brink of becoming a nation of cats.

Please make it stop. We need to stand up to the takeover.

Personally that bum eye and wandering over kitchen surfaces, 🤢

Help, what can we do?

ps light hearted, naturally 🤔

I feel like cat people hate humans... I am a cat person! 😅

My cats are all indoors, they don't bother anyone. They bring me so much joy and have got me through some really hard times. They are my best friends.

The minute I step outside there's dogs everywhere.

Tied up outside supermarkets so I have to twist to get past them.

Sat outside of cafes, slathering and begging for food.

Jumping up on me when I am trying to take a peaceful walk, ruining my clothes and making me smell like wet dog.

All whilst the owners grin at me with a terrifying smile like the monsters from the TV show From. As if I should be ecstatic to be touched by their little darlings.

Dogs are far, far more intrusive.

We have five 😅 I don’t think this one is up to much bar sleeping and trying to sit on your head. We don’t think she has brain cells 🤣

Ginger girls are very rare you must worship her for the god she is.

She will get her day with the communal ginger cat brain cell once it is retrieved from behind the fridge at number 48 and resumes it journey amongst the orange kitties of the world.

Oh good. Let’s hope they do a better job than the humans have.

My small street is full of childfree singles/couples and there's 17 cats between us. It is truly wonderful, unless you hate cats! 🤣 We are choosing to populate the world with cats instead of people, perhaps that's the issue they are taking.

Ban politicians instead, I say. Cats should rule! 🐱🐱🐱

ChristmasIsComingVerySoon · 09/05/2025 10:45

@StevesLavaChicken @BarkItOff okay, you've got more cats than me! I need more. My 4 obviously want friends... My husband will just have to move out.
Oh and dog lover as well, she doesn't mind the cats and knows they're the house bosses.

Seagullsandsausagerolls · 09/05/2025 10:38

Not sure he's up for world domination unless he had numerous minions to do the job for him. His best friend is a dog and I'm pretty sure he thinks he's one too.

CATS!

They're just discussing this on Jeremy Vine 🤣 cats rule 😺

OP is clearly being paid by birds.

No. It's a mutually beneficial relationship, he dusts my garden.

My cat could run the country far better than most political parties

Very suave.

My cats are both incredibly stupid, and are thus standing as candidates for Reform at the next election.

There is always one. Yawn.

MerlinsBeard1 · 09/05/2025 10:13

Cat owners are more intelligent. Actual fact.

mondaytosunday · 09/05/2025 10:10

I have two, and until recently two dogs. They already outnumber me…

Blobbitymacblob · 09/05/2025 10:06

I read recently that rodents infected by toxoplasmosis lose their natural fear of cats, so they present themselves to be eaten.

In humans the theory is that we lose our natural fear of enslavement and happily serve our furry overlords.

I think this is probably why they refuse yo use the litter tray make the effort shit in the gardens of non cat owners. It’s part of the plan.

Cats are similar to humans in being peak predators, at the top of the food chain, that prefer to be lazy and use deliveroo. Cats are just better at it than we are.

BogRollBOGOF · 09/05/2025 09:59

My neighbour's cat was sitting in the road as I drove in to it this morning.

The cat was there first.
He was not moving.

I drove verrry slowly, and verrry carefully around him.

He did not flinch.

I thought they already ruled the world…..at least that’s what my two tell me.

Mine have informed me that that is absolutely correct & we are merely needed to ensure their level of comfort is maintained.

EmpressaurusKitty · 09/05/2025 09:50

I like dogs. Just not as much as cats.

My girl’s ready to lead the army - what would a world ruled by cats be like?
