June 24 is a very auspicious—or, perhaps, pawspicious—holiday. Cat World Domination Day! This adorable little event honors these endearing tiny balls of fun and curiousity, but also shines some light on the possibility that our feline friends may be plotting some things. Cats, despite their small size, have a way of wrapping us around their little paws. In this post, a local Burleson, TX vet shares some advice on how to celebrate with Fluffy. 

What Happens on Cat World Domination Day?

Cat World Domination Day honors cats, their larger-than-life personalities, and our long-standing connection with them. Of course, if Fluffy manages to take over the world, the event will most likely evolve into something much more official.

To go a little deeper into the holiday’s history, Cat World Domination Day was founded in 2012 by the people who own the kitties on the sparklecat blog as a birthday present. At the very least, that is the official story. Unofficially, it could be the date Fluffy made the decision to pursue World Domination. We may never know. 

What If Cats Actually Took Over the World?

We can provide a more informed response on this one, as we do have the inside scoop. Some of our feline patients have provided us with valuable information about what to expect.

As far as we can ascertain, Fluffy’s formal requests include the following:

Statues: You may definitely expect to see gigantic feline statues in every town square.

Naming Conventions: All streets and towns would most likely be called after famous cats. Given the scarcity of famous cats, any municipality would definitely have multiple Garfield drives, avenues, roads, parkways, circles, courts, and lanes.

Catnip Gardens: Another potential infrastructure change would be the establishment of catnip gardens. Fluffy also enjoys spider plants and honeysuckle, so they would most likely be included as well.

Strays’ Food and Water Stations: On a more serious note, the world is home to millions of stray cats. With our feline overlords at the helm, we’d hope to see greater support and resources for homeless cats. This isn’t very far-fetched. In Turkey, for example, stray cats are essentially treated as communal pets. Many companies keep food and water out for the cats, allowing them to come in and relax in a comfortable environment. Fluffy is also living a comfortable life in Italy, where similar policies keep the country’s felines safe and fed.

New Building Codes: Do you have a built-in walkway and catio for your cat? Does Fluffy have a bed and a nice window perch in each room, as well as at least one cat tower? Have you set up a cat garden and at least one box castle? If this is the case, you will not need to make any significant modifications. Otherwise, you may find yourself forced to make some renovations.

Bye, Mondays: Mondays may be removed from the calendar in memory of Garfield. It would be replaced with a second Wednesday.

Moats and Aviaries: Fluffy would undoubtedly like to see stocked ponds and moats in front of every residence. This isn’t as far-fetched as you would imagine. Cats were so popular in ancient China that several communities even had fishponds specifically for them! It wouldn’t be a stretch for our feline pals to also demand aviaries. Poor Fido, on the other hand, would be relegated to the doghouse—literally. 

Is There Any Evidence That Cats Are Attempting To Take Over The World?

We have yet to find any genuine files or factual data on this one. However, certain historical indicators should be considered.

First and foremost, there is ancient Egypt. Fluffy convinced the ancient Egyptians to worship her as a deity. There’s even an Egyptian goddess of cats. In fact, kitties were so popular in ancient Egypt that when a family’s kitty died, the humans shaved their brows in sorrow. The Sphynx is another good example of how esteemed (or possibly feared) cats were in that civilization.

Fluffy also fared well in ancient Siam. She was the preferred pet of many royal and noble families and, of course, lavishly pampered.

Cats have also made their mark in less majestic ways. Those telltale kitten pawprints have been discovered on medieval manuscripts and in ancient Roman cement!

We may also need to consider the fact that Man’s Second Best Friend has been quietly training for this coup for years. Fluffy has been practicing using her claws and teeth on us for a very long time! She’s also gotten pretty good at bossing us around.

Of course, kitties have been practicing more than simply martial arts. They’re also committed to learning computer programming, which they accomplish by sleeping on laptops and walking across keyboards. They’ve been reading, and they also sleep on books. Our feline buddies have also dabbled in a variety of vocations, learning about spycraft, politics, and retail, to mention a few.

Finally, we must not forget that cats are charming little serial killers. Every year, these adorable, innocent-looking fur balls kill billions of little creatures. Ask your Burleson, TX veterinarian for advice on keeping your kitty friend safe.

What Is the Cat Treatise?

The Cat Treatise, also known as the Tamra Meow or The Cat-Book of Poems, is one of the most compelling pieces of evidence supporting cat global dominance. This old samut khoi manuscript is estimated to have been composed between the 14th and 18th centuries by Buddhist monks. The book, as you might expect, is entirely about our feline companions.

Do Cats Really Want To Rule the World?

We are unable to provide any verification or proof on this one. A team of researchers who attempted to explore the topic went missing under mysterious circumstances and have never been seen again.

How Can We Stop Cat World Domination?

There are a few things we can do to save the planet from Fluffy’s claws. First and foremost, make sure to get your furry best friend fixed. Overpopulation is a major problem that contributes to the world’s high number of homeless cats. 

It’s also critical to keep your feline pal satisfied, healthy, and purring. Pick up new toys or some catnip for Fluffy regularly. You might also wish to pacify her by spending some extra time petting or playing with her.

What else can you do? Keep your cat safe and sound indoors. This will not only throw a wrench in Fluffy’s plans to take over the globe, but it will also keep her safe from traffic, weather, predators, and parasites, as well as significantly lowering her chances of becoming lost, injured, or worse.

You might also want to give your cute pet a special treat. Salmon, chicken, or fish are OK as long as the skin, bones, and fat are removed. 

You can also appease your furry pal by providing great overall care. Ask your vet for specific advice and cat care tips.
