Well it’s the beginning of the end at least. Unfortunately another species has decided to take the next step in it’s evolutionary journey.
Cats.
Sound crazy? well think about it, lets say a future version of yourself appears in front of you now, all bedraggled and malnourished yet sporting a surprisingly cool survivalist beard (if you’re female replace the beard with swoopingly long matted hair.) and a burnt and torn silver jump suit. After your initial shock you sit the future you down and get him/her a can of coke, they gulp it down hurriedly with no sense of shame. They catch their breath. You ask them “What could have possibly happened that was so bad in the future?”
Your doppelganger stares at the floor for a moment. Then, they look at you dead in the eyes. “CATS!” They’ll say with a crazy glint in their eye, you’ll stare at them for a moment not understanding, then future you will tell their tale.
“They evolved, started walking on two legs. At first we all thought it was cute, so we gave them their own little apartments, with a TV and an X-box 360. Some even hung posters of Grand Theft Auto on their walls, we laughed. We were fools to laugh. We should have seen it coming the signs were there. They used to stare out their windows like nosy pensioners, again we laughed. But all the time they were really watching… learning… waiting for the perfect moment to strike. We should have seen it, but no what did we do? we filmed it and put it on You Tube. If only we’d listened to him, If only we’d paid attention to Stuart Almond’s blog, all of this could have been avoided.”
Think about, if that happened, you know in your heart of hearts that you’d have no problem believing it. You wouldn’t even doubt him. Hell you’d probably get him another can of coke maybe even a sprite.
What? Sound too far fetched for you? Rambling like a mad man am I?
Well then I say to you…
Watch this video… if you dare.
just don’t come crying to me when you’re a future version of yourself trying to figure out the secrets of time travel so that you can warn humanity about the coming apocalypse. You won’t be able to anyway i’ll be locked away in the heart of cat city as the emperor cat’s pet. What a cruel twist of fate.

If the cat tried anything on me I’d fucking headbutt it!
