We’ve all seen the videos‚ we’ve seen the cute faces‚ we’ve heard the purrs‚ and we’ve been side-eyed as we walk past. It’s no secret that our cats are secretly planning to take over the entire world. They have slowly been getting us used to their presence and winning us over with their adorable actions and hilarious antics. So‚ it should not surprise you that on one particular day of the year‚ June 24 to be exact‚ our cats really plot to take over the world. People everywhere post photographic evidence of this unfolding. What Is Cat World Domination Day? Cat World Domination Day is likely exactly what it sounds like. It is a day where we can all agree that our cats rule the roost. Many people celebrate Cat World Domination Day differently‚ and all are perfectly acceptable. Image Credit: kuban_girl‚ Shutterstock When Is Cat World Domination Day? Cat World Domination Day takes place on June 24 every year. On this day‚ you can partake in the craziness‚ celebrating how you see fit. This day was designated to look at how our cats are secretly starting to take over the entire world. You might see several posts on social media or witness family members taking ridiculous videos and really harnessing their creative side. How to Know Your Cat Is Plotting an Overthrow How do you know if your cat is getting ready to take over the world? The real answer is that they’re always ready. When you’re walking up the steps‚ they’re ready to trip you down them. When you laugh‚ like‚ and follow that adorable cat page on TikTok‚ they know. They’re onto you. It is absolutely 100% certain that we are the inferior species here. Image Credit: Hernan J. Martin‚ Shutterstock How to Survive World Cat Domination Day How can you make it all stop? After all‚ there must be some way to negotiate terms with this fierce overlord. Here are some ideas on maintaining a decent relationship with your cat without them plotting to take you out and resume control of the home. 1. Don’t Leave the Food Bowl Unfilled Don’t‚ and I repeat‚ don’t ever let the bottom of the food bowl show through. They know. Even if one crumble moves out of place‚ showing the plastic or ceramic bottom‚ you will be in trouble. Your house is up for repossession. It’s that serious. Actions have consequences‚ and not giving your cat proper sustenance is the number one way to lose control of the situation. Get it together. Image Credit: Africa Studio‚ Shutterstock 2. Offer Lots of Snacks Did you think that just food was going to cut it? That’s laughable. You need many other forms of delicious treats to sustain the voracious appetite of your royal feline companion. They should be rewarded for simply existing. They should be rewarded every time they groom themselves correctly‚ scream at you at 4 AM‚ rip the curtains‚ or any other heinous behavior. Don’t even try to give them cheap‚ dry snacks that they can barely chew. It must deliver the flavor‚ texture‚ and deliciousness to appeal to their appetite. 3. Give Consensual Affection Of course‚ your cat wants affection‚ when they want affection. You better know the difference. If they come up to you meowing and rubbing up against your leg‚ do you think that means they want that? Trick question. It never means that. Sometimes‚ you can’t even tell until you bend over to stroke their back‚ and you get a paw‚ a claw‚ or a very disgruntled hiss. Maybe you should learn your place. They want affection when they want affection‚ and that’s all there is to it. Sometimes‚ they simply want you to be still so they can rub on you‚ but it’s a look‚ don’t touch policy. Other times‚ they want you to pet them for hours. Study up on that body language‚ so you don’t make the wrong assumption. Image Credit: Frau aus UA‚ Shutterstock 4. Provide Adequate Entertainment It is completely 100% your responsibility to provide every form of entertainment for your cat. Things in your house that you might not know are entertainment absolutely are. So‚ if you see them walking on your fridge tops‚ trying to knock over the candle you attempt to keep out of reach‚ don’t get close. It’s their playtime‚ not yours. If they want to knock your things off the bathroom counter‚ and onto the floor‚ that’s none of your business. You need to sit down. And‚ if they want the most expensive exercise wheel out there‚ they poop in your closet if you don’t get them what they want. 5. Always Say Yes Are you even thinking about saying no to a specific request? That is a mistake. We can promise you that. You will lose that fight 9 times out of 10. So if your cat comes at you clearly making an order‚ it is your job as a servant of this card to get into their demands. Image Credit: Evgeniy Medvedev‚ Shutterstock 6. Don’t Use Squirt Bottles Don’t you even think about picking up the squirt bottle. Did you shoo them off the counter 20 times today so their hair doesn’t get in the way of you cutting vegetables? That’s absurd. It gets into your food‚ and a piece of your cat is in every meal. Some people would feel absolutely enamored by this. And what happens if they try to climb your walls or rip the sides off your couches? Nothing. If you do anything to stop it‚ you better make it subtle before they even know the difference. Don’t pick up the squirt bottle at risk of becoming an example of what not to do. 7. Keep the Litter Clean Don’t you even think about letting that litter box get dirty. They go in there to do their business‚ and it is your job to immediately go in and scoop it out so they don’t get their paws dirty. After all‚ they don’t want to spend extra time grooming because you couldn’t do a simple task provided to you. If you even think about leaving a litter box dirty‚ you won’t be the one in control anymore. All of your rights will be forfeited‚ and you will have to submit to your feline czar fully. Image Credit: Dinada‚ Shutterstock 8. Know Your Place‚ Peasant Ultimately‚ it’s all about knowing your place. Understand that you are living with your cat; your cat is not living with you. If you challenge this power dynamic in any way‚ be prepared to lose. Trust us. Your cat has all of the secret weapons needed to take the entire world completely over. Do you really think they’re worried about you? Then their entire band of groupies‚ across the world‚ will unite and conquer. Conclusion What do you think? Do you think you have what it takes to survive World Cat Domination Day? Remember‚ play nice‚ and do what your cat says‚ and no one gets hurt. On a serious note‚ you can devise many creative ways to get a laugh out of your friends on the next World Cat Domination Day. Let your imagination roll and see the hilarious things you can create.

National Pet Memorial Day falls on the second Sunday in September each year. In 2023‚ that day was September 10‚ which is when pet owners all over the country had an opportunity to remember their beloved pets that have passed on. In 2024‚ National Pet Memorial Day will fall on September 8. Find out more about this sweet holiday and how you can honor the memory of your favorite cats. What Is National Pet Memorial Day? The relationship between animals and humans has evolved from work to love and companionship. While they were once considered property‚ many people now consider their cats a part of the family—and they mourn deeply when they cross the rainbow bridge. Still‚ there’s evidence that ancient people mourned their lost cats. Pet memorials were first seen in 14‚000 BCE in what is now Germany‚ 11‚000 BCE in North America‚ and 7‚000 BCE in China. Famous historical figures‚ such as Alexander the Great‚ memorialized their pets with burials and monuments. Even in recent history‚ we see memorials celebrating the lives of special cats. Pet cemeteries are found all over the country‚ and we have monuments to famous pets like Greyfriars Bobby‚ a Skye Terrier that followed his night watchman owner in Scotland‚ and Towser‚ a diligent cat that caught a record-setting 28‚899 mice. There’s also Trigger‚ the beloved horse that Roy Rogers had stuffed after his death in 1965. In the spirit of these special relationships‚ National Pet Memorial Day is an opportunity to create a lasting memorial for your lost cats and celebrate your relationship. How to Celebrate National Pet Memorial Day Image Credit: Lightspruch‚ Shutterstock Here are some ideas to celebrate your lost cat on National Pet Memorial Day: Create a cat photo album or scrapbook to cherish your pet’s memory. Gather your keepsakes‚ such as an old collar‚ tuft of hair‚ or ink paw print‚ and share stories about your cat. Plant a memorial tree that will blossom around the same time as when your cat passed away. If you don’t have a yard‚ see if you can plant a tree at a community garden or park. Have a small memorial service with your loved one and share photos and memories. Donate pet supplies to a local shelter or rescue organization in your cat’s name. Show your pets a little extra love with a fun walk‚ a new toy‚ or a long cuddle session to treasure the time you have. Volunteer at a rescue or shelter to share the love with some homeless cats. Welcome a new cat into your family if you’re ready. Other Pet Memorial Days National Pet Memorial Day isn’t the only holiday in honor of our lost pets. Here are some other pet memorial days: World Pet Memorial Day: Celebrated on the second Tuesday in June‚ this is the day for people all over the world to remember their lost pets. Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day: Celebrated on August 28 every year‚ this day celebrates the bond between people and their pets that have crossed “the rainbow bridge.” National Pet Day: Celebrated on April 11‚ National Pet Day focuses on the millions of pets that need homes and encourages others to adopt. Conclusion Losing a pet can be one of the most difficult experiences. National Pet Memorial Day is a chance to remember and celebrate your pet‚ give back to others in your pet’s honor‚ and raise awareness for how difficult the loss of a pet can be.

Peace is for suckers. Even as Israelis were rooting out the barbaric child murderers and rapists of Hamas‚ President Joe Biden was trying to bully the Jewish state into repaying the Palestinians with a new state. Now‚ the State Department is reportedly fast-tracking recognition of an “independent” Arab state‚ which not only promises to envelop Israel in a three-front terror fight but also pull the United States into a needless quagmire. Then again‚ for Biden‚ rewarding terrorists is a matter of policy. If this administration‚ for instance‚ had explicitly promised to help Iran enhance its position in the Middle East‚ what would it have done differently? Only a few days after the inauguration‚ Biden brought back special envoy Rob Malley to spearhead negotiations with the Islamic state. Now‚ there are many problems with Malley‚ but the biggest one is that he negotiates for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei rather than the U.S. Iran has spent decades kidnapping and murdering Americans. So‚ a month after Malley’s hiring‚ the Biden administration took Iranian proxies‚ the Houthis‚ off the State Department foreign terror designation list. Then‚ as Barack Obama did‚ Biden released billions to strengthen the deteriorating terror regime and its Revolutionary Guard. It wasn’t just ransom. Iranians‚ supposedly under U.S. and EU sanctions‚ were able to boost oil production to a five-year high last year—which amounts to an extra $10 billion. All this did was incentivize Iran to further destabilize the region. Iranian proxies have attacked American troops at least 151 times during the Biden years. Last week‚ three U.S. soldiers were murdered by the regime. Add those lives to the over 600 servicemen murdered by Iran over the past 20 years. The White House spent the week propping up the president and incessantly discussing how we were going to respond. At the same time‚ it stressed we “don’t want war” with Iran. Of course‚ we don’t want war. We also don’t need to sound like a pathetic‚ middling power. But I don’t care if you’re a neocon‚ an isolationist‚ or anything in between; there need to be repercussions for murdering Americans. Tehran should be terrified of what comes next. I doubt it is. And while Biden was boosting Iran’s fortunes‚ he was also empowering its allies in Hamas. Former President Donald Trump bypassed the intractable Palestinians‚ giving Israel space to make peace with most of the Sunni Arab world. Iran was increasingly isolated and weakened. The first thing the Biden administration did was place Palestinians at the center of Middle East policymaking. Biden overturned Trump-era policy‚ releasing hundreds of millions of dollars of funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency and the Palestinians. At the time‚ Secretary of State Antony Blinken claimed it was critical for “Israeli-Palestinian understanding‚ security coordination‚ and stability.” Really‚ he might as well have written some checks directly out to Hamas. United Nations employees in Gaza‚ whom Washington had long known were actively assisting the terror group‚ directly participated in killing Jews on Oct. 7—including‚ people often seem to forget‚ 30 U.S. citizens. At least half of the U.N. staff in Gaza is attached to organizations designated terrorists by the United States government. Indeed‚ any “independent” Palestinian territory is going to be a terror state. History is remarkably clear on this point. Even the Palestine Liberation Organization‚ propped up by Western aid and Israeli security in the “West Bank‚” hasn’t been able to hold a real election in over a decade because Islamists would inevitably take control. If Israel can’t stop weapons from infiltrating Gaza now‚ what does the situation look like when it is dealing with an “independent” state? What does it look like when Iran becomes a nuclear power? What does it look like when the Islamic Jihad—or whatever group pops up to take its place—begins lobbing rockets at civilians? Israel will be compelled to act. Next time‚ it would be invading a territory recognized as a sovereign state by the U.S. To allay these fears‚ the State Department promises it will only move forward “with real security guarantees for Israel.” We are in no position to offer security assurances to Israel. We can’t even close our own borders. The Biden administration‚ in fact‚ already opposes the creation of a security buffer zone within Gaza to prevent more attacks. Now‚ there are those‚ like the president‚ who maintain that the people of Gaza aren’t responsible for the actions of Hamas‚ even though most polls find overwhelming support for violent Islamic fundamentalism. Fine. If that’s really the case‚ there should be no problem asking the Palestinians to take the next five to 10 years to build a civilization that proves it can live peacefully with its neighbors—like hundreds of other ethnic minorities in the world who don’t have the benefit of the world’s attention. Then again‚ maybe if they all started blowing up Jews‚ the West would propose giving them a state‚ as well. The Daily Signal publishes a variety of perspectives.
