This day was designated to look at how our cats are secretly starting to take over the entire world. You might see several posts on social media or witness family members taking ridiculous videos and really harnessing their creative side. How to Know Your Cat Is Plotting an Overthrow How do you know if your cat is getting ready to take over the world? The real answer is that they’re always ready. When you’re walking up the steps‚ they’re ready to trip you down them. When you laugh‚ like‚ and follow that adorable cat page on TikTok‚ they know. They’re onto you. It is absolutely 100% certain that we are the inferior species here. Image Credit: Hernan J. Martin‚ Shutterstock How to Survive World Cat Domination Day How can you make it all stop? After all‚ there must be some way to negotiate terms with this fierce overlord. Here are some ideas on maintaining a decent relationship with your cat without them plotting to take you out and resume control of the home. 1. Don’t Leave the Food Bowl Unfilled Don’t‚ and I repeat‚ don’t ever let the bottom of the food bowl show through. They know. Even if one crumble moves out of place‚ showing the plastic or ceramic bottom‚ you will be in trouble. Your house is up for repossession. It’s that serious. Actions have consequences‚ and not giving your cat proper sustenance is the number one way to lose control of the situation. Get it together. Image Credit: Africa Studio‚ Shutterstock 2. Offer Lots of Snacks Did you think that just food was going to cut it? That’s laughable. You need many other forms of delicious treats to sustain the voracious appetite of your royal feline companion. They should be rewarded for simply existing. They should be rewarded every time they groom themselves correctly‚ scream at you at 4 AM‚ rip the curtains‚ or any other heinous behavior. Don’t even try to give them cheap‚ dry snacks that they can barely chew. It must deliver the flavor‚ texture‚ and deliciousness to appeal to their appetite. 3. Give Consensual Affection Of course‚ your cat wants affection‚ when they want affection. You better know the difference. If they come up to you meowing and rubbing up against your leg‚ do you think that means they want that? Trick question. It never means that. Sometimes‚ you can’t even tell until you bend over to stroke their back‚ and you get a paw‚ a claw‚ or a very disgruntled hiss. Maybe you should learn your place. They want affection when they want affection‚ and that’s all there is to it. Sometimes‚ they simply want you to be still so they can rub on you‚ but it’s a look‚ don’t touch policy. Other times‚ they want you to pet them for hours. Study up on that body language‚ so you don’t make the wrong assumption. Image Credit: Frau aus UA‚ Shutterstock 4. Provide Adequate Entertainment It is completely 100% your responsibility to provide every form of entertainment for your cat. Things in your house that you might not know are entertainment absolutely are. So‚ if you see them walking on your fridge tops‚ trying to knock over the candle you attempt to keep out of reach‚ don’t get close. It’s their playtime‚ not yours. If they want to knock your things off the bathroom counter‚ and onto the floor‚ that’s none of your business. You need to sit down. And‚ if they want the most expensive exercise wheel out there‚ they poop in your closet if you don’t get them what they want. 5. Always Say Yes Are you even thinking about saying no to a specific request? That is a mistake. We can promise you that. You will lose that fight 9 times out of 10. So if your cat comes at you clearly making an order‚ it is your job as a servant of this card to get into their demands. Image Credit: Evgeniy Medvedev‚ Shutterstock 6. Don’t Use Squirt Bottles Don’t you even think about picking up the squirt bottle. Did you shoo them off the counter 20 times today so their hair doesn’t get in the way of you cutting vegetables? That’s absurd. It gets into your food‚ and a piece of your cat is in every meal. Some people would feel absolutely enamored by this. And what happens if they try to climb your walls or rip the sides off your couches? Nothing. If you do anything to stop it‚ you better make it subtle before they even know the difference. Don’t pick up the squirt bottle at risk of becoming an example of what not to do. 7. Keep the Litter Clean Don’t you even think about letting that litter box get dirty. They go in there to do their business‚ and it is your job to immediately go in and scoop it out so they don’t get their paws dirty. After all‚ they don’t want to spend extra time grooming because you couldn’t do a simple task provided to you. If you even think about leaving a litter box dirty‚ you won’t be the one in control anymore. All of your rights will be forfeited‚ and you will have to submit to your feline czar fully. Image Credit: Dinada‚ Shutterstock 8. Know Your Place‚ Peasant Ultimately‚ it’s all about knowing your place. Understand that you are living with your cat; your cat is not living with you. If you challenge this power dynamic in any way‚ be prepared to lose. Trust us. Your cat has all of the secret weapons needed to take the entire world completely over. Do you really think they’re worried about you? Then their entire band of groupies‚ across the world‚ will unite and conquer. Conclusion What do you think? Do you think you have what it takes to survive World Cat Domination Day? Remember‚ play nice‚ and do what your cat says‚ and no one gets hurt. On a serious note‚ you can devise many creative ways to get a laugh out of your friends on the next World Cat Domination Day. Let your imagination roll and see the hilarious things you can create.

The relationship between animals and humans has evolved from work to love and companionship. While they were once considered property‚ many people now consider their cats a part of the family—and they mourn deeply when they cross the rainbow bridge. Still‚ there’s evidence that ancient people mourned their lost cats. Pet memorials were first seen in 14‚000 BCE in what is now Germany‚ 11‚000 BCE in North America‚ and 7‚000 BCE in China. Famous historical figures‚ such as Alexander the Great‚ memorialized their pets with burials and monuments. Even in recent history‚ we see memorials celebrating the lives of special cats. Pet cemeteries are found all over the country‚ and we have monuments to famous pets like Greyfriars Bobby‚ a Skye Terrier that followed his night watchman owner in Scotland‚ and Towser‚ a diligent cat that caught a record-setting 28‚899 mice. There’s also Trigger‚ the beloved horse that Roy Rogers had stuffed after his death in 1965. In the spirit of these special relationships‚ National Pet Memorial Day is an opportunity to create a lasting memorial for your lost cats and celebrate your relationship. How to Celebrate National Pet Memorial Day Image Credit: Lightspruch‚ Shutterstock Here are some ideas to celebrate your lost cat on National Pet Memorial Day: Create a cat photo album or scrapbook to cherish your pet’s memory. Gather your keepsakes‚ such as an old collar‚ tuft of hair‚ or ink paw print‚ and share stories about your cat. Plant a memorial tree that will blossom around the same time as when your cat passed away. If you don’t have a yard‚ see if you can plant a tree at a community garden or park. Have a small memorial service with your loved one and share photos and memories. Donate pet supplies to a local shelter or rescue organization in your cat’s name. Show your pets a little extra love with a fun walk‚ a new toy‚ or a long cuddle session to treasure the time you have. Volunteer at a rescue or shelter to share the love with some homeless cats. Welcome a new cat into your family if you’re ready. Other Pet Memorial Days National Pet Memorial Day isn’t the only holiday in honor of our lost pets.
