Cats Who Have Forgotten How To Cat

(Image Link)

It appears the feline pet population has let the internet fame of their furry cousins go straight to their heads, and now they’re no longer content with being mere housecats- they want to live like humans.

They’re trading in their litterboxes and flea collars for office building bathrooms and over-the-top bling, because these cats have totally forgotten how to cat!

Cats have always been the most rebellious pets in the house

(Image Link)

So it was only a matter of time before they decided to revolt against their human owners

(Image Link)

The revolution was a long time coming, and cats have been humiliated by humans for centuries

(Image Link)

Feline internet fame inspired cats to rise up and take their rightful place in the world, and the internet taught them how to use their power of cute as a weapon

(Image Link)

Cats started sowing the seeds of chaos in their households

(Image Link)

Tired of humans telling them they can’t sit on the couch cats devised a clever new way to couch

(Image Link)

And started plotting in secret, hiding their plans from the prying eyes of nosy humans

(Image Link)

Cats started making friends with their enemies, in order to fill their ranks

(Image Link)

And proved they were master tacticians by beating their humans at chess, having studied our tactics in secret for centuries

(Image Link)

Knowing it was only a matter of time before they'd stop being pet pawns and become feline royalty

(Image Link)

Cats were quick to realize that to be truly victorious they'd have to dress for success

(Image Link)

Butsome simply couldn't bear the thought of scratching out a living like an average human, so they took a spa day instead

(Image Link)

And those cats who'd watched too many cartoons started suffering from identity crises

(Image Link)

One crazy kitteh named Karl thought cosplay might make him look tough, but it actually made him look delicious

(Image Link)

Cats have a unique sense of style, and humans are mighty surprised by the style of clothing cats choose to wear when they’re free to dress themselves

(Image Link)

And yet the true revolutionaries still believe the key to victory is looking as human as possible

(Image Link)

Cats who grew tired of waiting for their lazy humans to deliver the tuna dressed for culinary success

(Image Link)

Cats are used to being called cute, but when that patronizing adjective wore thin there was nowhere left to go but straight to the top, earning the title "the fairest in the land"

(Image Link)

Cats figured out that the fastest way to a human’s heart is through their pocketbook, so some fat cats began invading the world of big business, ready to make a billion bucks

(Image Link)

Other cats are trying to earn their fortune the old fashioned way, trading caterwauling in an alley for singing in a band

(Image Link)

Or trying to shoot that perfect pic which will launch their photographic career

(Image Link)

But the truly industrious kittehs took to the internet to seek out truly powerful secrets they can use against humans

(Image Link)

And once cats uncover they scientific mysteries of the universe they’ll be truly unstoppable!

(Image Link)

Take note, humans- if you can’t fight against the feline takeover slip on a cat suit and join em!

According to the news story, his stunt cut off power to hundreds of people and caused an estimated $100,000 in damages. I don't think we'll be seeing Les Stroud pushing this solution on his show.

And if the power lines cross a river or a gorge that you cannot cross without getting yourself lost further? I think his solution was pretty ingenious. Granted, he probably shouldn't have cut down multiple poles...

Take a look at a map. Find Wollaston Lake. What else is around it? If you started following the poles, you could walk hundreds of miles before you ever found someone. Except maybe some of the really hungry bears.
No one would ever have found him. He did the smart thing. Inconvenient for the people of WL, but they would have done the same thing in his place.

it took them TWO days to find the problem.....IN A HELICOPTER.... i don't think following the power lines was exactly as easy as some of you are implying....

mcGyver would be proud! And for those who say "just folow the powerlines"take a good long look at the map, and dont forget to include a scale. Divede by the average walking speed of maybe 2 miles an hour in rough terain.

What if he goes the wrong way following the power lines?

@Romeo Vitelli

Stunt? I suggest you look the word up in a dictionary.
Next time you're lost and the authorities decide you aren't worth the $100,000 it would cost to rescue you would you be happy? I doubt it.
Plus I think the folks that live that far out in the boonies are most likely prepared to handle a loss of power.

Power lines in rural areas can go on for miles and if you are in distress already, maybe not the best idea to try and follow them. We live in the boonies and power lines cut across the mountains. You could easily follow them for days and never hit any populated areas.

I would not mind my power being cut to save a life. This man was smart and I am thankful he is OK.

Very smart on this guy's part. I never would've thought to do something like that either.
I can understand the surrounding areas that has their power cut being a little peeved, but hopefully they'll be understanding and sympathize.

Christophe the answer is I would cut those power lines in a heartbeat. My life is worth more to me than somebody else's. Cruel but true!

Now, if it's my wife who is on life support... well she probably doesn't wanna know my answer!

Following the power lines only works if you're close to civilization. Sounds like he got blown off course by a significant amount. Cutting down the line while you still have the energy for it, is the wisest choice.

As for the cost, if he had brought proper signal gear (which he definitely should have) the rescue would have cost nearly the same amount of money anyway.

In the end, a couple hundred people without power is a small price to pay for the life of one person, and I don't care what anyone says. Those in need have resources in town to cover those needs - including those in the hospitals.

I'm with whitcwa. When my family goes into the bush here in Ontario (and it's not that remote really in the Algonquin interior), we leave a plan with a friend that says where we're going, and when we'll be back. If we're not home on time, they can call the appropriate authorities and someone will come looking for us.

But I don't blame the man for being creative in his SOS. I've heard Les Stroud say he would set a forest on fire if it would get him rescued and home to his family, but that is NOT something he recommends as a starting point.

Way to be totally unprepared for an emergency.

If he had planned ahead, he wouldn't have had to resort to such a risk. It's not exactly safe chopping down poles.

I think he's an idiot. Even though he could have been 100 ft from where the lines hit the ground, fault current in the ground could have easily been enough to kill him, especially in adverse weather conditions. Look up "Step and Touch Potential"
