2 Much Kittehs on teh Interwebs; 1-Day Ban Planned

Can "9.9.09 — A Day Without Cats on the Internet" possibly fly?

(Newser) – Let’s face it: Cats own the Internet. But it’s getting a little much, and that’s why the Urlesque blog is organizing “9.9.09A Day Without Cats on the Internet.” The master plan calls for cats not to be mentioned, emailed, viewed, nor blogged about. Urlesque is even polling readers about their other furry friend fetishes so it can run exclusive coverage of another animal. “Why only one day? Well let's be honest, that's probably only as long as we'll last...”

“…before a hilarious video comes crashing into our inbox. But for one day, we will abstain... for you... for the cats.” Linda Holmes, writing on NPR’s Monkey See blog, agrees. “We love a LOLcat, we love a keyboard cat,” but on Sept. 9 the blog “will not discuss cats, cat videos, adorable cats, or talented cats of any kind.” But that’s days away, so Holmes has ample time to watch (and rewatch) her favorite vid, at left.
