State of the CatUnion Address

My fellow citizens, I am distressed to report that intelligence gathered by the CIA (Cat Intelligence Agency) under the CatPatriot Act indicates that catshock and awe has befallen us; the dogs of war are barking in the Cat Blogosphere. The Department of Catland Security has elevated the catterror alert to red, and the conflict is so intense that three of our leading commanders, Zeus, Skeezix and Beau may resign.

We cannot allow this war to continue until it degenerates into another VietCat. We must first employ diplomatic efforts to impose no-catgrump zones throughout the Cat Blogosphere. The catterrorists -- and those who aid, train and harbor them -- must unconditionally destroy all WMD's (Words of Mass Destruction) and agree to not develop WMD's in the future.

If diplomatic efforts fail, a coalition of the willing will deploy troops to kick some serious catbutt at a time of my unilateral choosing. The United Cats of the Blogosphere has the sovereign authority to use force in assuring its own serenity. That duty falls to me, your self-appointed Cat-in-Chief.

And make no mistake -- if the use of force is unavoidable, we will not withdraw until the mission is accomplished. I have accumulated a massive stockpile of lethal hairballs and I possess an arsenal of catballistic missiles capable of delivering them. Don't make me drop dirty catbombs on you!

I ask for your support in this mission. We must work together to bring peace and serenity to the Cat Blogosphere, with liberty and catjustice for all. We must post our gratitude and appreciation to each of our esteemed cat commanders Zeus, Skeezix, and Beau and urge them to stay the course! And we must put the "fun" back in dysfunctional and learn to all just cat along.

Together we will swat the flies out of our catsoup for the soul and create a purrrfectly unified and peaceful Blogosphere of the cats, by the cats, and for the cats. And we will accept no outcome but victory!

Thank you, and may God bless the Blogosphere.

"we must put the "fun" back in dysfunctional"

Now that's a classic... Nice post-

Daisy said...

Yes, I am FOR no-catgrump zones!

Mr. Hendrix said...

I agrees with you Rocky! WMDs are dangerous and must be eliminated at all costs. Even if it means *shudder* lethal hairballs. Please, please don't explain what a "cat bomb" is.
Stay the course everyone and stay blogging!

All in favor say "Aye!".

Aye!

Bonnie Underfoot said...

All right! I'm not alone in wanting to thwap some cats back to their senses. They're acting like ::shudder:: beans!

You're welcome for my share of the hairballs. I do my best. But Rocky, I'm keepin an eye on you. This is a democatsy, not a dogtatorship.

Great post!

Angel Junior, Orion and Sammy said...

I stand ready to defend any cat that need defending!

Artsy Catsy said...

Thanks, Flynn, but as soon as the Cat Blogosphere disarms, we're signing a Hairball Non-Proliferation Treaty in an effort to halt production before somebody pushes the hairball button and wipes out a small country!

We thought a WMD was a William of Mass Destruction. THAT kind of WMD I'm for. The word kind we're not for, nope. Can we have that nappile and snooze now?
Purrrrrrs,
Boni

Pee Ess. Mom laughed so hard about putting the "fun" back in dysfunctional that diet coke came out her nose. That was funny to watch!

Smeagol and Strider, Mystery (Sunnin' at the Bridge) and Gizmo too! said...

Aye from all of us!

Gemini said...

Wait if we have no WMD's then what about William of Mass Destruction (WMD)? We have to allow him.

Kimo and Sabi said...

Blogging cats unite!

Artsy Catsy said...

Ah, yes, I do see the vague similarity between "WMD" and "WMD". (Astute, aren't I?) My apologies for the confusion. William is our good buddy and has top security clearance, so he's allowed old place he wants to go!!

Rocky

I'm a human, my cat Oscar gave me purrmission to speak for him, and myself, AYE! You kitties rock! Oscar says "down with the infidels!" (He watches a lot of Fox News).

Oscar the Puppy Cat said...

Aye! From Oscar and myself, his bean, Kim.

Oscar the Puppy Cat said...

Aye! From Oscar and his bean, that would be me, Kim.

Dragonheart, Merlin, Devi, and Chloe said...

That's a great State of the Cat Union Address! You are a very clever and very wise cat. I agree that WMDs must be destroyed at all costs and no new ones should be created.

I hope Zeus, Skeezix and Beau continue to blog. They are all wonderful cats and I hope they know how much the Cat Blogosphere needs and appreciates them.

Anonymous said...

As Skeezix would say, "My bean got all leaky-eyed" when reading this.
Thank you for this post, Rocky.

I stand, ready to hiss, claw, and hurl hairballs in the name of Cat Blogging Freedom!
(this means: e-furry-one KEEP BLOGGING!)

Oh we are loving your blog all you ArtsyCatsy cats! You've already shown how generous you can be, and it's no surprise since you must have such generous humans to take in so many cats! We are sending you lots of hugs and purrs and thanking you for all the smiles you've given us! I know we don't comment too much, but Harlie and I are reading even when we don't say so!

Just Ducky said...

Rocky you have done very well putting forth the issues that we need to address on the cat blogoshpere. Plus it is fun being slightly dysfunctional.

P.S. Mum says the check is in the mail.
