Cats rule the internet. Think about all the funny cat photos and videos that infest your IM conversations, Facebook walls and e-mail forwards from mom -- our feline overlords have sneakily solidified themselves as a staple of the interweb humor we love so dearly. Don't believe us? Salon and Entertainment Weekly have also had the same startling realization. Heck, we even awarded them with a lifetime acheivement honor in the 2008 year-end Urlies. But whether you're a bona fide cat lady who loves it all, or someone who can't stand the over-population of cats on the interwebs, we can all agree that cats need a break. Urlesque hears your cries for help.
After getting inspired by our friends at Asylum, Urlesque is organizing a web-wide ban on cat-related coverage on 9.9.09 -- A Day Without Cats on the Internet. Why only one day? Well let's be honest, that's probably only as long as we'll last before a hilarious video comes crashing into our inbox. But for one day, we will abstain... for you... for the cats.
Several of our friends across the web have bravely agreed to stand up beside us and support the effort: besties such as Asylum, Best Week Ever, Dumb As A Blog, Lemondrop, PawNation, PetSugar, Popbytes, PopEater, The Presurfer, Rocketboom, Snuzzy, Tosh.0 Blog, ZooBorns, Zoomdoggle... do you think you could handle the challenge? (Update 9/4: 11 more sites have joined the ban including I Has A Hot Dog, Laughing Squid and NPR! And the Wall Street Journal has taken notice of our movement.)
Do you want to join the ban? Sign the "petition" to show your solidarity or send us an e-mail.
During the day of the ban, Urlesque is taking things one step further. We will blogging exclusively about an animal of YOUR choosing! It's up to you, Internet, to pick which other furry friend you'd rather read about on 9.9.09. Vote in the poll below. The poll closes on Sunday, September 6th at midnight ET, so get your votes in now.

Thank you. They are wonderful. Johnnie is the sweetest big ol boy you have ever seen. He was in a dog show and the dog behind him continually tried to bite him with encouragement from the person handling that dog(yes some handlers will do anything to win); but Johnnie kept right on going and never looked back.

CeeCee doesn't agree with not constantly having cats on the internet. But CeeCee has it covered.

For All The Cat~People Of The Thread
Candy Corn Haiku
Candy Corn Kittens
have a 'Sleep-In' to protest
this thing called 'Urlesque'!
A day without Cats
is an abomination
and will not succeed!
Candy Corn Kittens
have a vast arsenal of
weapons. Even 'Cute'!
Candy Corn Kittens
have a way to melt even the
coldest Human heart
'Urlesque' Humans
should have Candy Corn Kittens
drop in un~announced
Who can resist white
vests, spats and gloves surrounding
soft and gentle purrs?
Colors of autumn
offset snowy, silky fur
to achieve success
Add azure eyes to
the mix and 'Urlesque' Humans
haven't got a chance
Candy Corn Kittens
will accept nothing less than
complete surrender!
