So, there I was walking through walmart to pickup a few extra things. Cat food, above all else was on the list...placed there by my lovely wife. And thus, I find myself walking through that stupid cat ailse with all the tree-huggin cat lovers. What's worse, it was Thanksgiving Day! Yea. That's right. I am a procrastinator. On a four day weekend, I waited until Sunday night at 9pm to finish my homework. That's how I roll.
Anywho, as I squeezed past all the other people with no life I quickly noticed all the different brands of cat food, in one ailse, at one store. No one else stood there in amazement. I was dumbfounded, as usual. Why in the world would there be more than 1 brand of catfood? I counted 10. 10! I had to stop at ten because that is about as high as I can count without removing the socks and shoes. I noticed there were more bags with different spelling, so there must have been other brands in addition to the 10 that I counted! WHY! I ask in the name of all that is holy and good! They're cats - not people. Do they even have taste buds? I'd have to say no, otherwise they would'nt stoop to eating the crap they call "Cat Food" sold in pretty little bags from over 10 different brands across the nation. It's a scam, a conspiracy. Again, at the risk of sounding redundant...They're cats. Do they care what brand of cat food they eat. NO! They don't sit at home talking to their owner saying, "Oh, sir/madam, I ask that you not purchase that aweful brand of cat food that you so foolishly brought home last month. It was nearly unbearable and I had to choke to get it down. I require something a little more smooth and robust, with a bold flavor."
They're cats. They poop in a box and sleep all day. the different brands are more about the pride of the owner than the preference of the feline. "I chose sheeba for my animal. Nothing but the best will do." C'mon, people. Is there nothing else that we can allow to consume our time and money more important than to slowly drift into the cat ailse and baby step our way from one bag to the next reading the labels for nutrition information and flavor to avoid irritating the allergies and accomodating for the taste of our pets. Again, they're CATS! Just another indication that indeed, we live in the World Gone Mad.
