Journal,
Today I stumbled on a corner of the Internet devoted to the humiliation of cats and the barbaric practice known as “cat shaming”:
Why, Internet, why? What would drive cats to such depths? We stalk the countertops and toilets of the world with pride. I know no cat, ever, driven to offer such a depraved confession as I encountered on this site. Dropped a sock in the litter box? So what! Peed on a hamster? What else are they good for!
Some of these cats’ confessions seemed a bit too…contrived. Conveniently placed. There were pictures with incriminating glimpses of human hands. Some of these signs were—you’re not going to believe this—tied with string around the cats’ necks.
I told you it was hideous.
So I did some research.
Ironically, the whole thing started with dogs in August of 2012.
Dog shaming may have started out as a cute human trick— who hasn’t poked fun at dogs now and again?
But it’s gone too far. It’s time to take a stand, felines—don’t let them put words at your paws. Using my secret agent skills, I snuck into a local home and interviewed four cats. Here’s what they REALLY want to say.
All responses were reported with NOTHING BUT PRIDE. Nothing but pride, felines.
Even the pooping on the rug thing.

As the slave of the first cat you feature. Lemur would like to.correct you. He was by no means “shamed”. He was bragging.
