If at some time in the future the internet is inexplicably switched off, the one commonality between the first memes, contemporary content and, presumably, the future will be cats. After all, we found them on Egyptian murals, so your grandkid's Facebook page is not that much of a stretch. 
The “Memes I wish I could tag my cat in” Facebook page is dedicated to hilarious posts about having a feline friend. We got in touch with Trev Lewis, one of the founders of the page to learn more. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorite posts and be sure to share your own thoughts in the comments section below.

Bored Panda got in touch with Trev Lewis, a broadcaster and comedian who is also one of the founders of “Memes I wish I could tag my cat in” and he was kind enough to answer some of our questions. Firstly, we were curious to hear his thoughts on why the group is as large as it is, currently just shy of a million followers. 

“I think the page's main draw for our group is a passion for debating the different schools of thought within modern economic theory. Kidding! The main draw is cats, of course.” You can also find his previous interview with Bored Panda from last year.

“People will always love cats and anything that incorporates cat content. It's a fun place to spend some free time, as opposed to more-serious corners of the internet. Cat memes endure because they make the perfect indoor pet, and those of us (myself included) who are chronically online don't like to go outside much. So this particular crowd is wired to appreciate and own cats.”

Looks like he’s on a really disappointing blind date.

My male cat, Tuesday, had to have a large incision for his neutering, because one of his parts hadn't descended correctly. He refused to wear the cone, so the vet told us to cut the sleeve off a long top, cut leg holes in that and thread the cat into the sleeve. Poor Tuesday... it broke him. He could only walk backwards. 🤣 funniest thing I've ever seen. If he could have turned me to dust right then with laser vision, he would have

I got my cat a little christmas jumper. It took me about five minutes to get him into it, then he leaped from my arms, wiggled in mid-air, and landed with only his tail still in the jumper. I'm taking that as a "No thankyou" on clothes.

Naturally, we also wanted to know why he thought cat memes in particular were so enduring and ever-present. “Compared to other animals and their respective memes, cats simply have more of a meme-worthy personality. They are fiercely independent at times, and very antagonistic.” he shared.

That is as mean as scotch taping crumbs to the inside of a window to torment the birds!

“One could say they are the animal version of American comedian Larry David, who just wrapped up his long-running sitcom Curb Your Enthusiasm. Something about disposing of social norms and acceptable behavior, and choosing to forge your own grumpy path really lends itself to comedy, and that's something both Larry David and cats have successfully tapped into. If any animal on earth could learn the art of standup comedy, I think it would definitely be cats.”

Trev shared some parting thoughts. “The only other thing I will add is that my family's oldest cat, Nugget, is currently in ill-health. It's always difficult to lose a pet, and I think this group has helped me, and hopefully many others, have some bright cat-related moments in difficult times. That is also part of its huge appeal.” You can find more of his work on his website.

Our cat will occasionally have a panic attack in the night and come into our bed, screaming and howling and batting our heads till he is,convinced we are actually alive and no longer need his medical attention

It doesn’t matter that a heavy weight is on your chest and you can’t breathe properly, you don’t want to move for fear of disturbing them.
