I enjoy cat GIFs, memes, and photos of felines gleefully spinning around in the Disney World teacup ride as much as the next guy. I can even recite the lyrics to “The Kitty Cat Dance” in my sleep. But, compared to the widespread surge of cat obsession we’ve witnessed on the Internet in the last few years, my cat infatuation can be deemed mild. At the end of the day, I can walk away from my brief forays into this “in-cat-uation” as a dignified adult, one who takes herself far too seriously to regard cat videos as anything more than passing entertainment.
