Meow the 19th – Cat Invasion
Cats are invading the internet. They are disguised as cat memes, have their cutie pages on Facebook, and tweet their meows wherever they find a place to leave their scratch marks. Their paw prints cannot be restricted, neither by georgraphical borders nor by media limits.
A cat from Japan has joined forces with other celebrity cats to take over the internet. Maru and his sidekick Hana have their own youtube channel fed by their owner mugumogu.
And what a successful cat conquest that is! Almost 20 million viewers have been captured in one video by Maru and Hana. It is just weird that the weapons of the cats are just they themselves and cardboard boxes.

yes, you are right (from your previous comment) it is unclear how cat’s won the internet. Even in micro setting of the virtual space – my own blogs, Instagram and Facebook – whenever I post pictures of my cat (especially silly ones like above) people seem to visit it more often than usual. I have a theory that we are subconsciously jealous of the cat’s personality and maybe we enjoy seeing them that way? 🙂
That would be possible. A subconscious jealousy of cats.
But it is true: put a picture of a cat in your blog, and you get more hits. 🙂
