Fake Mews | Dogs Are Smarter Than Cats

Marcy and Penelope Kitten’s take on this breaking news. …

 

Last Thursday. 6:28 pm.

Marcy and Penelope Kitten are siting on the sofa patiently anticipating the CBS Evening News report, their eyes transfixed on the TV.

They have a bowl of popcorn between them and are mindlessly munching.

Cynthia:  Hey, Kitties! What’s –

Marcy:  Shhhhhh.

Cynthia quietly sits down next to them and glances at the TV. She grabs a handful of popcorn and shoves it in her mouth.

Cynthia (gagging and spitting and yelling):  What the heck?!

The popcorn is fish flavored.

Marcy:  Shhhhh.

Cynthia (wiping out her mouth with a napkin):  Yuck. Ugh. Blaarghhh.

Marcy sighs and turns up the volume.

TV Anchor:  Tonight we share with you the results of the groundbreaking study:  Who Is Smarter?  Cats? Or Dogs?

Cynthia (exclaiming):  Oh! No wonder you guys are –

Marcy and penelope kitten:  SHHHHH.

TV Anchor:  And now, the news you’ve all been waiting for. The verdict is in. According to the scientists at Vanderbilt University –

Marcy, Penelope Kitten, and Cynthia all hold their breaths and lean forward towards the TV.

TV Anchor:  DOGS… are officially smarter than cats.

Cynthia freezes in terror as Marcy nonchalantly turns off the TV and tosses the remote on the couch.

Both Marcy and Penelope Kitten calmly eat pawfuls of popcorn.

Cynthia:  You’re both taking this really well. Or… really badly.

penelope kitten (squeaking):  no biggie.

Marcy:  We expected it.

Cynthia:  You did?!

penelope kitten (burping):  yeah yeah.

Marcy:  It’s Fake Mews.

 

Cynthia:  Um… no… that was a real scientific study done by real scientists who –

Marcy:  Nope. Fake Mews. We cats planted the story to get you humans off the scent of our world domination plan.

Cynthia:  How does making us humans believe that dogs are smarter than cats make us forget about your takeover of earth?

Marcy:  Because it’s Fake Mews.

Cynthia:  I don’t get it.

Marcy:  I know. That’s the point.

Cynthia:  The point of what?

penelope kitten:  don’t tell her.

Marcy:  It’s okay. A new study will be out tomorrow where they declare dogs smarter than humans. Now that’s not Fake Mews.

Cynthia:  You are not making any sense whatsoever.

Marcy (snickering) Yup. That’s because we’re… stupid!

penelope kitten:  heh heh heh.

Marcy and Penelope Kitten continue to eat fish flavored popcorn and laugh oddly.

Cynthia becomes uncomfortable and leaves the room.

Marcy and penelope kitten:  heh heh heh.

    Maybe the world would be a better place if the kitties took over. We humans are not doing a very good job.

    Oh my gosh, this is story is hysterical!! It’s probably for the best though if this is real mews. You wouldn’t want the evil-plotting animals to be the smarter ones. Better for it to be the sweet, people-pleasers 🙂

    Fish flavored popcorn: EW.
    Cats taking over the world: genius.
    It’s the one thing we humans, as a species, can agree upon, it’s that kittehs make us all happy. Kitten videos are a thing for a reason! Yay kittehs!

    As usual Marcy and PK, you show the superior genius cats have over we stupid, unsuspecting humans. Do you give lessons in the art of plotting? I’m open to any rates, including sushi and steaks…
