 🐱🧶🛋️In breaking news from the Kingdom of Clawed Cushions and Heated Windowsills, it turns out that today’s domestic cats are being “abandoned in droves.” But the real scandal? These pampered purring lap-warmers may have forgotten how to be cats. As their ancient ancestors stalked lions and hunted across the sands, today’s moggies can’t even face a breeze without flopping into victim mode. 📉🐾

🐭 Mice Walk Free as Cats Retire to Cushions

Let’s talk about the other half of this furry cold war: mice. Once trembling prey beneath the shadow of a stalking tabby, they now strut across kitchen counters like they pay rent. The rise of “rescue cats” has coincided with a decline in rodent fear. Why? Because Mr. Whiskers is too busy having a nap-induced existential crisis to chase anything without gravy.

Gone are the days when cats would bring you a decapitated mouse like it was a wedding gift. Now they’re just influencers in fur coats, sitting in cardboard boxes and waiting for someone to refill the kibble. 📦📲

Meanwhile, mice are thriving like tax-dodging billionaires. Bold. Brazen. Caffeinated. You can practically hear them doing power poses in the pantry while cats sleep through their own species’ downfall. 😼🧀

Is it rescue these cats need… or rewilding? Maybe a few tough love bootcamps in the hedgerows. A “Man Up” programme for felines, sponsored by Bear Grylls and 3-day-old sardines. Let them rediscover the thrill of the hunt, the satisfaction of a well-earned scratch post, the glory of pooping somewhere vaguely near the litter tray.

Because if we’re honest? The biggest predator in the room is now the Dyson.
