Thank you so much for all of yesterday’s birthday wishes… but what pleased me even more was how much everyone embraced Cat World Domination Day! As most of us know, we cats have dominated the world for a long time now (some would argue that with a break here and there, we have been in charge since ancient Egyptian times), but yesterday proved that we are owning this truth.
Want more proof? I present the following:
- Tardar Sauce, our very own Grumpy Cat, has signed a movie deal.
- Cats are running for public office in ever-increasing numbers. The latest is Morris, a black-and-white kitty who is running for mayor of the Mexican City of Xalapa. I am looking forward to 2014, a semi-big election year for the U.S. I expect to see several new feline members in the House of Representatives.
- Have you noticed that there is a TV show called My Cat From Hell and books with titles like Outsmarting Cats, but then you take a look at them and realize they are all about changing human behavior?
- Cat video festivals are spreading like crazy! So far this year Boston, Memphis and Austin have all had them. There were two in California. Minneapolis is having its second one in August. There is even a cat video awards show — the Friskies!
- Two words: Lil Bub
Got any more important cat news that shows our world domination?

Remember to nominate me for The Petties, especially my story Humans Are Willfully Destroying Our Bird TV (https://www.sparklecat.com/special/humans-are-willfully-destroying-our-bird-tv) for Best Blog Post! You can do this every day until June 28 — the more times, the better!
The proliferation of blogs about and by cats totally supports the fact that we ARE dominate. Purrs and hugs, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Josette
This just confirms what we knew all along. 🙂
I think the Nerissa family have completely taken over in Canada now. Those Humans in Ottawa are toast.
Hey–I never heard of Lil Bub before! Ha ha ha! Thanks.
Yes, its the humans who are the problems, not the kitties! First we take over our house, establish base camp and move out from there.
First the world, then the universe!
Many belated happy birthday wishes to you dear Sparkle!!
Wow, very impressive!
Of course we’ve taken over!!!! We never doubted it!
The Florida Furkids
They’ll never know what hit them, they’re too busy thinking they own the world. Right! (love the pic!)
♫ We own the world ♪ We own the humans ♫
Why don’t YOU run for office, Sparkle? We’d all support you.
leave it you sparkle to make a point. you were so right. didn’t know tardar has a movie deal… what about you?
You are so right about tv show and books, they are about changing human behavior, and not kitties! Kitties rule!
We’re glad you had a great birthday Sparkle! It’s really good we’re spreading the word to humans about how we dominate everything. It’s about time they realized it!
They (the humans) need to let us take over completely. They’ve don’t a good job of messing stuff up. 😐
Sparkle you hit this one right on with that paw of yours. We do rule and the sooner they all give it up the better they may serve us stinky goodness. (Dad is already a convert)
I LIKE YOUR WORLD DOMINATION FACE SPARKLE..You shows them humans who is in charge..We kettehs know who rules around here..They are out numbered..HAHAHA.. 😈
So true! We’re goop na check out Lil Bub!
I know that I am in charge at my house. My human mom even has a sign that reads “My cat is NOT spoiled, I’m just well trained!” Every household with a cat understands that! Glad you had a good birthday!!!

It’s about time everyone takes cats serious.

There was never, ever any doubt in our minds Sparkle!
I was ahead of my time, running for Senator in 2006 and President in 2008… And now! NOW I could have won. Really. Sigh.
Only a human or a doggie could refuse to see this simple truth!
Thanks for stopping by yesterday for my Gotcha Day too!

Don’t forget about the cat restaurants being such a big hit in Japan, and wanting to come to US.
Hehehe Cats may Dominate the world Sparkle but Bunnies rule the world quietly in the back ground where nobody is watching…hehehe Speedy
Ah but Sparkle, you had better watch out – while you cats THINK you are ruling the world, we goats ARE in charge.
Woooo hoooo!! You are so right Sparkle! Love the serious expression on your face too!
Happy Belated Birthday gorgeous Sparkle!…We are so sorry we missed your fun party, sweetie; we hope your special day was filled with extra treats!…Of course we rule the world=we own our homes, have every meal served to us, etc=there is proof everyday of our World Domination!…Our Mommy LOVES Grumpy Cat and even has her photo on her desk at work=Tarder Sauce is so adorable!…Happy Tuesday and week ahead, dear friends…kisses…Calle, Halle, Sukki, Mommy Cat, Daddy Cat
I think the sheer number of time Odilia and Triscuit showed up on Instagram and Twitter during Blog Paws should be another one. Don’t know an exact number, but we were told it was a LOT! 🙂
We’re going to the show in Minneapolis!!!!!!
You should come, Sparkle!
…or at least send your human.
; ) Katie
FaRADaY: I knew it! WE ROOL!
Yup, us cats are definitely ruling the world, no problem. WE sure have everything under control here. We have our person all trained. Glad you had a good birthday. Take care.
YAY! Cats truly DO rule….and not just on Domination Day….speaking of which Miss Sparkle, that photo of you is very domination-ish for sure – you look quite determined (or is that evil???!!!! 😈 ) Hope you had a fantabulous birthday. I had a ball!
Kitty Hugs, Sammy
I’d add Choupette the Cat to the list. When I found out she had her very own I-Pad, I demanded one as well. I was somewhat successful because my humans do let me play games on theirs even though I don’t have one to call my very own yet!
I’m also looking forward to 2014 and seeing more felines in Congress. Have you thought about running Sparkle? Meow and Namaste! ~ Pippy the Feline Yogini
Mum learned very early on that we were in charge here!
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
It’s only a matter of time, Sparkle…the humans won’t know what hit them.
I will tell you, there is NO surprise here that I dominate this household with an iron paw!!
You are so right with those examples. Thanks for lalerting us to Lil Bub.
My human sleeps through most wars. She does’t even know she’s being dominated big time!! That’s the way I like it!! Hehe x
Of course, we knew that cats were running the world all along. It has taken the slow humans a long while to catch on, hasn’t it?
I wished we had more cats in all governments, at least we would have a better world ! Although I have to admit that my cats are rather dictators !
Humans are so busy think we are cute and fuzzy that they will be so surprised
when we really take over 😉 Paw by paw we dominate more each day.
heh,heh,heh
