In the realm of the internet, one creature reigns supreme: the cat. With approximately 16.6 million cats in France, they have captured the hearts of their owners. One of the most enduring myths about cats is their supposed nine lives, a notion that presents a unique dilemma for the Grim Reaper.
When Death Encounters a Cat
The internet is filled with countless cat videos, and now, thanks to the rise of image-generating artificial intelligence, virtual cat videos are also emerging. The affection for these furry companions is far from recent; domestication dates back to 8,000 to 10,000 years ago during the Neolithic era.
Cats are surrounded by numerous myths, including the belief that they possess multiple lives—either seven or nine, depending on the culture. For Death, however, the number makes no difference. The Grim Reaper finds himself perplexed when it’s time for a cat, a humorous situation depicted by comic artist Seebangnow.
The Comedic Nature of Cats and Mortality
This comic, translated and shared on our Facebook page Trolls de Geek, showcases daily memes and other humorous content. It humorously highlights the nonchalance that cats exhibit in the face of death—a trait well-known to their owners. Having a cat often means watching them risk their lives chasing a fly or a butterfly, or leaping from notable heights with remarkable agility.
These moments of madness are balanced by long, intense naps, as an adult cat sleeps on average 16 to 18 hours a day. Yes, that’s quite a lot. And when they don’t have to pay rent like their furry companions, the rest of the day can be enjoyed with wild abandon. After all, given that they get so much rest, it would be odd if they didn’t make the most of their waking hours.
