My friend Kambri just alerted me to a project she worked on called the Meow Mix House, where apparently 10 cats are living right now in complete and utter luxury. I hate to say it, but I noticed that there are NO BLACK CATS in the house. The reason why I bring this up is because my cat Smitty often protests that most cat food commercials are racist, saying, "Yo, how come that big fluffy WHITE cat gets all the ching-ching and the bling-bling? Where my Fancy Feast at? Oh - is it CUZ I'M BLACK? It's cuz I'm black!" I always tell him no, it's because you're lazy and maybe if you'd start killing some of the cockroaches around here you'd get some wet food as a reward, but he usually just sulks away and starts drinking again...
Look. The fact that my cat has a drinking problem has nothing to do with the color of his fur, okay?
All I'm saying Meow Mix, is that for such a high profile multinational operation, you might want to consider some diversity training. I mean, look at this screen shot of the first three cats on the Meow Mix House bio page:
ALL WHITE MALES. Sure, one is a redhead, and according to Matt McCarthy that makes him a minority, but still! Try again, Meow Mix. TRY AGAIN.
Let's just paws and take a moment to make racism and sexism in the world of cats hiss-tory. I mean, really. In this day and age! We should have licked those problems already...
