Ailurophilia

Main Entry: ai·lu·ro·phil-ia
Pronunciation: I-'lur-o-'fi-lE-&
Function: noun
Etymology: Greek ailouros cat
: cat fancying : the love of cats

Some strange things have been happening on the internet. A website called I CAN HAS CHEEZBURGER? displays funny pictures of cats with weird captions written in poor grammar and misspellings. Intentionally. The result? They're very, very funny! Here are a few to titillate your ailurophilia, should you have such a thing or need the motivation.









This one above reminds me of the mummy cats we saw in the Egyptian exhibit at the Royal Ontario Museum.

I laughed about those poor mummy cats for days. Not sure if this means I'm an ailurophile or an antiailurist* (a hater of cats?) for being so amused at the preservation of a little kitty. Just so you dog lovers (canophiles) out there don't think you're getting away with anything, mummified dogs have also been found.
