It’s official: World Cat Day has changed! Instead of World Cat Day, we have… World Cat Forever! It is time to stop playing cute with humans and let them know the truth: we have already achieved World Domination, both on the internet and in real life!
In light of this new turn of events, I propose that we enact the following changes as soon as possible:
- Replace all tobacco fields with catnip farms.
- Require that in the future, all veterinarians make home visits, instead of us having to be stuffed in a carrier and brought to them. And that they stop sticking that awful thermometer you-know-where and instead take our temperatures by ear, or some other less-invasive method. Oh yeah, and that they create a way for us to receive medicine by osmosis; in other words, to make us better, they poke themselves with the needles.
- Set up a commission to investigate why the pet food companies have not yet invented cat food and treats with mouse, cricket and moth flavors. They say they already tried mouse and the cats rejected it; that only proves they were doing it wrong and need to go back to the drawing board.
- In fact, there also needs to be a commission on why regular cat food does not taste like cat treats. Really, it should.
- All cat occupied homes should be required to have at least one cat tower or condo per cat. If this means the humans must get rid of some furniture to make them fit, it only shows that they had too much furniture to begin with.
- All workplaces must set employees’ hours around their cats’ needs. In fact, they should set up a work-at-home situation so that humans need never be away from their cats.
- All humans get tax credits for everything they buy for their cats. This is to stimulate them into buying more and better stuff for us.
- All retail stores and places of employment must shut down for 90 minutes mid-morning and for two hours in the afternoon. This is so that humans can be home during their cats’ naptime and provide their bodies as pillows if needed.
- All libraries and bookstores must be required to have at least one cat on staff.
- Humans must take CIT: Cat Intelligence Training, so that they know how to properly serve and care for us cats. All lessons will be taught and graded by cats.
- Remember my suggestions to humans from last year’s post? They are no longer suggestion — they are required activities!
What else needs to be changed for World Cat Forever?
Wiser words have never been spoken Sparkle! You are THE CAT!

Excellent suggestions, um, new rules, Sparkle. I want to add that all cats be provided either supervised time outdoors, or in an enclosed outdoor space, or at least constant access to the outdoor TV, on a daily basis. Also, when the human goes away, another human will come in for feeding AND pets AND play; none of this automatic feeder stuff.
Dear friend,this post is just a gift to our heart.Adorable ideas!

We love the one where business close mid-morning and afternoon to allow humans to go home and provide their bodies as pillows for their cats. I’m going to insist that my mom ask her boss if she can take a long lunch to be a cat pillow.
BRAVA!!! BRAVA!!! Happy World Cat Forever!!
Dear Miss President,
I nominate you to rule the world. All your proposed changes are excellent! I am definitely on “Team Sparkle”! Hope you got some yummy treats for all your hard work! Happy World Cat Day!
Sincerely,
Cloon
Love it! Linked it in an update to my own post!
Happy World Cat Evening! 😀
Well said Sparkle! I would like to add that building codes throughout the world must mandate proper viewing windows and sliding glass doors because cats have an inherent right to a view. And maybe a cat should be on the building code inspectors’ staff to enforce the law.
Happy World Cat Forever!
I like the idea of world cat forever! Yes!!
BTW, we are holding a contest for a free bag of Innova Natural pet food. Today is the last day to enter.

Sparkle we claim victory as there was even a commerical for a smart phone from some human company being faster so that there would be able to add even more cats on the internet. The AD executes know the power of the paw
We have been spotty commenting today so we are going to try to zip around this evening and tell our friends we hope they had a great World Cat Day and may it be a fab World Cat Year!
All right, Sparkle! We can make it happen, I know we can!
We agree with every word. Happy World Cat Day Forever.
Happy World Cat Day! We support your initiative Sparkle.

It all seems perfectly reasonable.
Happy World Cat Day!! erm…FOREVER! We say all kitties find homes, and humans learn to spay and neuter, or ELSE.
we hope to be up to speed commenting by next week…secretaries…sheesh.
Sparkle,
With each point, I was nodding my head and purring..or was it Julie? I don’t remember. Anyway, you are so beautiful and smart to come up with those wonderful ideas! I didn’t know they tried mouse-flavored cat food. That’s funny!
Happy Cats Forever Day!

(ignore my brother’s photo, this is CODY talkin’!)
HAPPY WORLD CAT “FOREVER!”
catnip farms!! how inciteful!!! and the nap time idea…you s/b president!
Purrfect, Sparkle! We love your list of changes. 🙂
Happy World Cat Forever, friends!
I second everything you say.. Happy World cat day.. Hugs GJ xx
Make it so!!
What great changes!!!! I truly support you all the way.
We are right behind you Sparkle…lead on!!! We want to thank you for your kind concern for our Chica. Happy World cat Day to You!!!
Kit and I agree with you one thousand percent! We think the best days are the days when mama works from home. And she should be able to claim us as dependents on her taxes! And she should buy us a cat tower!
LOL, we agree wholeheartedly, especially with the vet visits and employee hours!!! Happy World Cat Day friends 🙂
The cats @ Purring Pines give it “all paws up”!!!!! Our Mommy loves it too!!! Happy World Cat Forever forever!!!!
And that’s the way it should be!
May the revolution begin now. United we can change the world!
Meow! You are spot on, Sparkle!
Purrs,
Sara Cat
Dearest Sparkle
Oh My Tuna! Yous is speaking well for us Cats! Me has made my Mommy gets a job for working from home. Now Daddy does too and they only goes to bookstores that has cat staff. As a matter of fact, our hardware store has a cat staff too!
Sparkle, yous rocks!!!!
Kisses
Nellie (and Kozmo)
Ah-hem! GOATS are taking over the world.
WE have HORNS.
And are BIGGER.
You can be our assistants.
Ha! Tell that to Sherpa.
Good luck with that Pricilla. Let us know how that works out for you. Hahahahaha!
Sparkle for Purrresident! You represent the feline community so well. 🙂 We agree totally with your list of demands. Fall in line, hoomins.
Here! Here! I second these emotions! Let’s start working immediately—by that I mean let THEM start working immediately— to make these a reality. Happy World Cat Forever!
Happy World Cat Day!
Sparkle, your ideas are brilliant, of course. Our mom certainly would like to know why she can’t claim us–and our vet bills–on her taxes.
And we want to know why the really *good* canned cat food is so unappealing. If companies can make the cr*p stuff that we enjoy so much, why can’t they make good-for-you food that smells tempting? Come to think of it, the really good-for-you human food often is less appealing than the junk food. It’s probably a conspiracy to keep All Beings unhealthy and dependent on the pharmaceutical industry. 😛
What a great list of requirements Sparkle – we second them all.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Love your world cat manifesto…. Yes domination of world and cyberspace too. Have a great day…
pawhugs, Max
Those are great demands! And I am raising my paw to volunteer work at the library!
you have it covered, Sparkle. I can’t think of a thing else!
Those are all great changes! Happy World Cat Day!
Sparkle! We are with you! Let’s start a movement! No more of this one day business…but World Cat Day Forever as it is and always will be!!
We think your demands are perfect, Sparkle! We will put our pawtographs on that!
WE think you pretty much covered all the requirements for us cats. We especially like the one about the trip to the vet. Do you know in the old days, our vet did come to our house to treat us. Anyway that is one great list. Thanks for getting that together for us. Take care.
Sparkle, I am so down with the tax credits and working from home! Let’s make it happen!
Happy World Cat Day!
We LOVE yoor list of changes!
YES! What a wonderful list of changes. Where’s the petition we can sign? I must tweet this!
yay! We’re fully behind you Sparkle! A day is simply not long enough.
I especially like the idea of a cat on staff in libraries. I would like to work in a library as I might get some stimulation for writing my moon haiku. Maybe I could write on some other subjects too. I tried to comment on your last post, but it was crowded out and we couldn’t find the comments area. We don’t want any goodies and we live in Australia, but I read your post about Harlot and wanted to tell you how nice I thought it was. Well done Sparkle!!!
OMC !!!! Me and My mom love this post !!! What a fantastic idea ! You are so smart, Sparkle !!! I love the second and the third one, Mom love the work place one and the tax…This is Brilliant Ideas Sparkle !!! Happy World Cat to you and your family
