I Repeat: We Cats Rule the Internet

July 26, 2013 By: Sparkle Cat40 Comments

I am the face of the internet!

I found an interesting fact in this BlogPaws post: there are more dogs in the U.S. than there are children! Now this is a pretty awesome statement… because there are even more cats in the U.S. than there are dogs! More intriguing statistics from the same story: 14% of U.S. dogs have a Facebook page (at least according to some poll on a dog website) — so considering the prevalence of cats on the internet, I can only conclude that an even higher percentage of cats are on Facebook! We kitties all like to claim ownership of the WWW, but I get even more excited when it is backed by truth!

Want even more proof? I love this one: Facebook ads featuring a cat got a higher response than an ad showing female cleavage!

Why am I crowing (as they say) about this? Well, remember a couple of weeks ago I asked you guys to help me put the MEOW into BarkWorld by supporting my entry to win a trip for my human to this dog-centric conference? It worked! I am one of the winners!

Victory is mine!

You may wonder why a kitty like me is so excited about sending her representative to a conference that is so unabashedly dog-leaning that it’s even in the name. The conference actually has a lot of really smart social media and blogging sessions that are good for any species. They have Matt Silverman of Mashable as a keynote speaker. And there are even a couple of sessions that are feline inclusive, including a MeowWorld Breakfast for Cat Influencers. (Let’s see my human make it to that one — 7 A.M. Eastern Time will be the middle of the night to her jet-lagged Pacific Time brain! But she’ll try really, really hard to be there.)

So thank you, BarkWorld humans, for letting this kitty into your dog conference. Of course, you do realize I am going to take all the valuable information I get to strengthen the feline position on top of the internet media chain. The dogs will have to console themselves with chew toys and dog treat swag.

    Hi Sparkle……sending your human to Barkworld is a brilliant spying technique. She can find out what those barkers are up to and make sure we know what those creatures are plotting and planning – you know just to strengthen our already secure status as #1 in the world! Also, you never know – there MAY be some minor kitty swag available there so you COULD get some prezzies out of it after all. Sounds like a win/win to me!

    Kitty Hugs, Sam 😉

    Will you be attending in flat form? We think this is so cool; especially, since you are not one of those cross-over blogs that has both cats and dogs. Can’t wait to see what your mom has to report back to all of us. Purrs and hugs, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Josette 😛 to the dogs!

      Good question! The humans who did the dog poll were from a dog site, so of course they did not bother asking about cats… probably because they did not want to embarrass themselves by showing how much more popular cats are on the internet. If my human knew how to do a poll to figure that sort of thing out, she would. I can’t do a poll like that here because of how skewed it would turn out, since like 90% of my readers seem to have cats online somewhere.

    Cats really do rule the internet… I was texting with my boyfriend the other day and asked him what he was doing. Response “watching cat videos on youtube”…lol. It happens time and time again, the black hole of youtube cat videos where you can lose hours of your life :p

    Enjoy the conference!

    BTW – Sparkle is so beautiful, as always.

    We are not dawg lovers, but we are starting to feel some pitee for the poor dawg lovers at the conference. Their bubbles will surely deflate a little when Sparklemom arrives with her fact backed cat information.

    Those dogs won’t know what’s happening when they realise that cats rule from the front but they walk to heel behind their owners.
