Cats of the World Wide Web
No, Sarah Boxer, the reason cats feature so heavily on the internet has nothing to do with their self-referential intensely navel-gazing lifestyles, and it's certainly not their ability to ignore their owners' internet time. It's because they'll get up between you and the keyboard until you feed them. They don't like flash photography much, so that's as good a way as any to deter them or otherwise make use of their intrusion. With dogs, when they interrupt, it means you have to take them for a walk.
