So over it. The bird. The ‘gram. All of ‘em.
Cynthia: So. In answer to my question yesterday. Yes, cats have indeed jumped the shark. At least social media cats have.
Marcy: What happened?
Cynthia: Justin Bieber’s cat, Tut, has his own Twitter page. It’s all over Facebook and E News! We’re doomed.
Cynthia looks confused.Marcy: Who’s Justin Bieber?
Cynthia: Ummm… he’s that famous kid.
Blank stare from Marcy.
Cynthia: Oh, I don’t know. He’s that kid. You know, that kid… who wears low pants and lurches around with his arms. The point is Tut’s got over 4,000 followers. In one day.
Marcy: How many do we have?
Cynthia: Two.
Marcy: *&^*!!!
Cynthia: We are officially a cliche. Hey! Where are you going?
Marcy: Shark fishing.
Cynthia: Hey Marcy! Look at the newest cat craze trending on Twitter. Cat Boarding!
A streak of white and black whooshes by
Cynthia: Uh… Marcy… why are you cowering in the closet? Oh. No! Don’t worry. It’s like skateboarding. Not the other thing. No water involved. Seriously. Just watch.
After 10 minutes and two treats later, Marcy peeks out with one eye and one pointy ear.
Cynthia: What do you think? Isn’t that hysterical?!!
Marcy: What a dumb ass.
