Tuesday Cat Blogging
I swear I won’t make this a blog about my cat, but when I came across this website today, I had to record it. #
My 16-year-old cat George is afflicted with a somewhat rare condition called megacolon, in which some or all of the large intestine loses its ability to contract. We’ve been managing it with medicine up ‘till now, but he had a pretty severe episode a few days ago which required an expensive vet visit, so I decided I would look up alternative treatments. A little Googling led me to the Celebrity Cat Interviews page of the Feline Health Society. #
I’d usually find this stuff pretty stupid. Maybe you will, too, but something about it just made me laugh my ass off. The interviews are conducted by a cat named Charlie, and it’s written in “cat talk,” so “mommy” becomes “meowmie,” “you” becomes “mew,” and the cats greet each other with “Rawr rawr MERAW,” which I guess is the traditional cat salute. It seems like this stuff is really written by a vet, so the medical knowledge is pretty accurate, but the style is just hysterical. Or maybe it’s just me. Maybe I just have this vision in my head of someone off in the hinterlands tapping away at the keyboard with a kitty-ear headband and painted-on whiskers to – you know – get in the mood. Hysterical. #
