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 grandkids 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.

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.”

Show me the cat or it will reflect badly on your next job review.

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

One of my cats has really bad anxiety. She over grooms to the point she's eating her fur. I put a few drops of "Homeopet anxiety relief" in her food and it helps. It's only a few bucks on Amazon. It might help, I know every cat is different. Valerian root is good too.

Having foster kittens, hearing that special sound from the littlest one in the middle of the night, make me leaping from bed and carrying that little idjit from the nice cushion to the litter box. He got the idea, that the snad was scratchy, whereas the cushion was nice and soft. Four nihjts in a row, u till he got the idea that I wanted him to use the litter box. Cute idiot.

My older cat will sit and wait for me to go to bed, sometimes meowing if I'm not fast enough.

Usually if I tap the spare pillow three times she will be there when I wake to use the bathroom. And stay with me until I get up for the day. Good, good girl.

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.
