Fame is a fickle friend. One minute you’re on top, the next you’re “devoted” fans are calling you whats-his-name.
The world of viral video fame is no different. Monday you’re the “Surprised Kitty” cat’s meow, and by Tuesday you’ve been replaced by a goat.
At least that’s what the recent animal video crazes are trending towards.
Remember when you couldn’t go to YouTube without seeing a couple dozen adorable cats doing adorable something adorable that “absolutely no other cat had ever done before.”
Have we forgotten so quickly? I know goats are adorable, in their own way, especially when there’s a barrier of some kind between you and the demon goat. Yes, I might be completely biased by traumatizing childhood memory of a goat at a petting zoo, but that doesn’t mean cats aren’t superior Internet sensations.
I’d like to make a plea for our feline friends (and humanity). I ask you, where would the Internet be without cat videos?
I bet you remember your first cat video. It was a special moment for each us.
We have stood on their furry shoulders this long, we can’t abandon them now. Especially not for the demon goats.
Also, I don’t want to alarm anyone, but I’m pretty sure this is one of the signs of the apocalypse.
…and the goats shall bleat and conquer the Internets…said The Lord.
I’m fairly certain that parts of that (in no particular order) are somewhere in the bible.
