April cats

[Metryq]

Is there some holiday I am missing? I noted the cat graphics on the Chrons, and DeviantART has been taken over by cat propaganda. I like cats and have a very lovey Siamese who is my shadow, but is this some sort of coincidence—or is there a link between April Fool's and cats that I never heard of before?

And speaking of April Fool's—why do we need a special "holiday" for pranksters when we're surrounded by fools every day? Any "joke" headlines I see today look no different than the straight headlines I read every day, or on the Onion.

I can't see any cat graphics.

Okay, some of the answer is coming out now.

I just learned that AdBlock, a browser plugin, now runs images of cats. (And one can opt out of that.) Reminds me of a browser that showed Swedish chef "bork! bork! bork!" on Web pages... Gotta look under your own hood first, I guess.

I've just been on DA and there is indeed a shed load of cats there.

Lots of cats and some naked women. There's always lots of naked women on DA though so that's not too unusual. Weird about the cats though.
