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 🤔

Frankly, I've met more cats that I like than I have people and I've never met a dog I liked - ever.

This. 💯

I am both a dog and cat lover, you can be both.
My dog give me the emotional support I need but oh those kitties, petting them, their little purrs, they way they chat to do and look like they are in love with you with their eyes, they are so hilarious too, independent but loving in a really intense way, so clean and beautiful and scathing

Not sure she has the brains for taking over the world ….

I clearly need another 0.74 of a cat.

Chalkybear · 09/05/2025 09:48

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

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?

CATS!

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.

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 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.

mondaytosunday · 09/05/2025 10:10

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

MerlinsBeard1 · 09/05/2025 10:13

Cat owners are more intelligent. Actual fact.

There is always one. Yawn.

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

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

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

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!
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.

CoaltownFifer · 09/05/2025 10:45

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! 🐱🐱🐱

lovegoodlovegood · 09/05/2025 10:46

He says whatever

CATS!
UndermyShoeJoe · 09/05/2025 10:49

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 🤣
