It was probably from last spring that "cat sucking" and "cat sucking" have become popular somehow. After raising cats for so many years, I was turned into a "millionaire" overnight. When I heard this news, I was so excited that I waved the cat litter shovel in my hand, and felt that the poop in the litter box had become fragrant.
At the beginning, the young master was indeed happy. I think that after this round, more people will understand and like cats, and the situation of cats will be improved, especially the long-term difficulties of adoption - "Orange Cat" has become a star, so it will be easier to adopt it in the future.
But later, the situation far exceeded expectations and changed.
Open Weibo, "Cute Cat" has been on the hot search list for many years, and is far more popular than any star. He is the well-deserved number one internet celebrity on Weibo. In the comment section, countless girls are @ing their boyfriends.
A large number of cute pet marketing accounts sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain, copying jokes, curious stories, pictures, and videos, doing their best to render the cuteness, funnyness and willfulness of cats to attract fans.
Cat emoticons and jokes spread rapidly, and the number of cat lovers surged. For a time, it seemed that everyone raised cats and everyone loved cats. "I wish you a cat as soon as possible" and "we will have cats sooner or later" were spoken by them. Even I don’t know that among my friends who never mentioned cats before, there are so many "cat lovers" lurking.
They say that if they can't suck a cat, they will feel uncomfortable and unable to concentrate on doing things. Being addicted to cats is "like" drug addiction. They say that having a car and a house is nothing. Having a cat is the "standard configuration" for successful people, and being young is the winner in life.
All the cute dots on the cat are dug out and enlarged, and every hair on the whole body is promoted and rendered.
Fat cats represented by "big oranges" have become the most popular cat body shape, as if cats should be born with a chubby round lump.
A video of an old man stuffing a spoonful of rice into a cat's mouth with a spoonful of rice was widely circulated, and onlookers talked about it with relish and praised "the old man treated the cat as his grandson."
What is more widely circulated is the curious story of cats eating vegetarian food in a temple. It was copied by many marketing accounts, indirectly promoting the magical view that "cats are influenced and voluntarily eat vegetarian food."
More widely circulated is the topic of "My parents originally strictly prohibited me from raising cats, but later they were conquered by cats and became cat slaves", as if as long as you take the cat home, the cat can handle your parents by themselves.
is more and more widely circulated... There are too many new materials being manufactured and spread at every moment, becoming a joke for netizens after dinner and a powerful tool for marketing accounts to attract fans.
Cats are given human emotions and psychology. Cats have become magical creatures that understand human words, have high IQ and are sensible, and have become gods that can save people from their boring life.
All this made me frightened.
Those interesting jokes are not harmful if they are only spread in the niche circle of cat owners. However, when "cute cats" become a super hot topic on the entire network, and when cats are related to "rich" and "winners in life", the misfortune of the entire cat tribe comes.
Thanks to marketing jokes and curious stories, countless uninformed people have been instilled with the deformed concept of raising cats. Under these concepts, countless cats live indirect abuse-style life that goes against nature. Their owners may have no idea about it, but do things that hurt the cat in their hearts of loving cats.
It is so easy to get a cat. Pet stores are everywhere. You can buy a so-called "breed cat" for a few hundred yuan. I wonder how many people are excited by those videos and photos, so they can buy a cat back at will. Some people don’t know how to keep the cat at all, so they keep the cat to death. Some people find that the cat is not as fun as they imagined, so they throw it out, and they even call it “release animals”.
Why are there more and more stray cats in recent years? The source is not the cat's strong reproductive ability, nor is it the feeding of cat lovers, but the abandonment of irresponsible cat owners!
However, the real mastermind was never dragged to the front stage. Only those volunteers who were criticized were kind-hearted and sterilized cats, and those who suffered were innocent stray cats.
The merchants smelled the smell of money in this cat-sucking tide, and various pet supplies and food appeared in large quantities.
Let's talk about cat food. I don't know how many new brands have emerged in the past two years, and the price is so expensive. But in fact, the domestic supervision of pet food is close to zero. The quality of the so-called "natural food" you bought for a few hundred yuan depends entirely on the conscience of the merchant.
Not to mention various cat cafes, cat pet shops and pet hospitals with mixed levels. Parents who have raised cats know that raising a cat is cheated everywhere. We are the lambs to be slaughtered in the eyes of businessmen, and we are tired.
The marketing forces that advocate sucking cats and petting cats will only tell you how cute the cat is, but they will not tell you:
Cats will shed hair, and cat hair may be everywhere in the house;
Cats will stinking, and you have to cover your nose and shovel poop every day;
Cats may wet the bed and pee on the sofa, and may scratch people while playing;
Cats will grind their claws and scratch your expensive sofa.
They will not tell you:
Cats cannot eat vegetarian food, and vegetarian food cannot meet their metabolic needs;
Folding is a breed with genetic defects, which will be very painful after the disease occurs;
Not all parents will fall in love with cats, and many parents choose to send cats, throw them away or even kill them directly;
Cats make trouble in the middle of the night and make people sleep poorly, and their study and work are disrupted;
You can no longer have a trip that can go as soon as possible, and you even have to worry about what to do when you go home during the New Year.
They will never tell you that those videos that seem to be cats are playing tricks are all made by humans who come to play with you.
will never tell you that raising a cat is really like raising a child, you have to worry about everything.
After all, in this online cat-sucking carnival, marketers earn a lot of money, and netizens onlookers get a climax. Cats have become tools for making money and having fun. They are glorious on the surface and are respected as the "master", but in fact, they have no choice but to eat, drink, defecate, and from birth to death.
They are either born as tools for making money, or are born in wind, frost, rain and snow. They may eat extremely garbage food, may be beaten and scolded at any time, may be abandoned at any time, may be misdiagnosed when going to the hospital, and may have an accident at home because of an accident of the owner. There is no law to protect them. Cat abusers and cat thieves are eyeing them, and their owners will also face various discrimination and pressure from relatives and friends....
For cats, this is the worst era, a truly bloody and ruthless era. Most cats have become victims of this era, including my Diudou who was misdiagnosed by a quack doctor.
I, an ordinary cat parent, faced with such a "tide of the times", I am completely powerless. But I still have to say all this, even if it can only affect one person and change the fate of a cat, it is worth it:
Raising cats is not as easy and fun as mentioned on the Internet. Before raising, please consider it again, okay?
I also want to say to all people who rely on cat marketing:
There is nothing wrong with making money with cats. But, you touch your conscience and ask yourself, are you worthy of the cat who makes money for you? They are blood, flesh, sad, and painful lives.
