Hello this is Foxmaster!!!🦊
So, I found this very deep and meaningful, making me question some of the rules considering cats in society these days. (I have no idea what I mean by that, just go with it.)

Meow. Meow meow. Meow meow meow, meow meow. Mew mew, meow. Meow meow meow? Meow meow.

Amazing opening words here, it makes a very strong beginning and makes me want to read more. The 'meow' is a very interesting word, making reflect on some of the other words and making me understand the whole paragraph better. The rhetorical question is like, 'so good of a point'!!!! Wow!!!!
Meow meow meow meow, meow meow. Meow meow, meow meow. Meow, mew, meow meow, meow mew mew meow. Meow!!! Meow meow, mew!

Wait a minute, the part with 'Meow!!!' they're talking about cat stereotypes?! What?! Ookay I had no clue about some things here and was like: 'wow, so interesting!' The reference to being respected and having their own goddess in Egyptian mythology really puts a strong point there! Impressive!!!
Meow meow me ma meow ma meow meow. Meow meow, mew meow, meow meow! Me ma meow, meow meow mew meow. Meow ma mew meow meow meow meow meow? Meow! Meow mew meow meow. Meow mew meow meow meaw mew meow me meow meow. Meow me me meow, me meow meow! Mew meow meow mew mew ma meow meow ma mew. Meow meow meow meow meow mew meow meow.

Wow... this paragraph was written in such strong words! How do I even describe it?... The part where dogs get overrated is really interesting and how that one cat in history solved a murder mystery puts a really great point on Cats can be very useful with things.
Meow meow meow meow, me meow meow meow meow. Mew meow, me me meow!

that is very intelligent and I have to agree although 'meow' is misspelled. It should be: 'meow.'

I love this. It's a very deep and meaningful commentary that makes one think of all the different ways society has become corrupted (or always was).

Bonjour! Rida here for a review!

So, first of all, I really liked how you mentioned the many ways cats are better than dogs, and I also liked your word choice. I was surprised by how strongly you disliked the way humans think of us as pets, when really, they are our pets!

But, I realised you made this too short. You didn’t mention how cruel it was to raise dogs along with cats! And how pointless it was to give cats milk when most of them were lactose intolerant! Excuse me, I’m sitting in a French restaurant right now. No! No milk! I’m lactose intolerant! And one salmon please, with some catnip.
Ahem, sorry about that. Anyway, back to the review.
You also didn’t mention the different ways we can take over the world with out cuteness, and how very wrong it was to name dogs as man’s best friend! And, it would’ve been better if you ended the essay with the very famous slogan:
“Cats rule! Dogs drool!”
Also, you didn’t mention how sad it was that cats still weren’t given proper education, and weren’t allowed to design softwares, buildings and become world famous chefs! In short, they were given no jobs except for writing! >:(
And you didn’t mention how cats aren’t allowed to ride motorcycles! And cars! Humans were so wrong to make it illegal! I myself travel on my motorcycle! Oops! Ok, I’ll finish this review in cats cuz the police is coming!
Meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow.
Meow meow,
Meow,
Meo- rida.

Wow, I never knew cats are lactose intolerant!!! I'll make sure to mention it next time. Thank you for your review!! :D

Whew. I escaped the cops. I won%u2019t disclose to you my current location, but it%u2019s meow-tastic! Most cats are lactose intolerant. Like myself!

Hello there, @Love! It's Vilnius here with a review.

What I Liked
Your essay is concise and easy to read, but I think an English translation for those not fluent in Catalan is needed here.

What I Disliked
I believe that your essay is simply far too short to discuss what needs to be said about human society as a whole. You say nothing of the Ancient Egyptians and their cat-worshiping ways, and you've only scraped the top of the issues with using cats and other animals as familiars. I was angry when I saw mention of human crimes, though the cat genocide against mice was strongly supported. >:(

Grammatical Errors
There were no grammatical errors in this work.

In Summary
Good kitty, have a fish!

I think I just was unable to get this article .
Can you please help me understand it?

Love replied · Oct 23, 2017

If you endeavour to study the nature of humour, thou shall find two primary components in the craft:
* The content must be surprising in some way
* It must nevertheless have a solid grounding in reality
A you may gather, my work exhibits both of these properties. Not only is it unusual and surprising, but it is also strongly realistic, and the wandering read well find themselves both surprised (meow??) and not surprised (well, it IS in the realistic category, and the title says it all..).

As most of us live in a democratic nation, works should be judged by their merit and impact on others, and not on preconceived notions of what constitutes quality entertainment. In the spirit of democracy, I have thus released this piece to the public, letting it rise or fall as the public saw fit. The People have spoken, as they saw that it is Good.

It's just not as funny if you explain it :P

Love
Thanks for helping me understand your work. I, rather , got a bit carried away and wrote idiotic stuff that I should , no should ever write. I am really apologetic for it.

Coming back to the review, as I have now understood the article, I'll be posting a review shortly.

I also understand the meaning and the spirit of democracy, not to mention I am from India.

I'm once again sorry for my careless and ignorant review.

My friend Mr.Pug really has something to say to this, the whole day after he read this his face has been shaped into a frown. ̶A̶c̶t̶u̶a̶l̶l̶y̶ ̶h̶i̶s̶ ̶f̶a̶c̶e̶ ̶i̶s̶ ̶a̶l̶w̶a̶y̶s̶ ̶i̶n̶ ̶a̶ ̶f̶r̶o̶w̶n̶. So I'll let him do the talking.

Roof, rf. Meow

roof woof, rroof waf waf roof woof. Roof roof roof. Roof! woof roooof ro wa woof? wwoof wa roof. Roof roof roof roof roof woof woof roof roof roof ro ro roof woof woof woof, roof roof roof roof. Roof. roof roof roof woof woof woof woof woof wo wo ro roof!!? Roof roof woof roof.

Roof, rf. Roof

(roof woof roof.)


Okay, he looks a little better now. Yah he's walking over to the table wa- NO do NOT pee on the table, I told you not to last time- oh woops sorry about that, haha. Pug is a bit weird these days. Well I hope Mrs. Meow understands (literally.) So that's all he wanted to say, by now.

Love replied · Oct 20, 2017

Gasp! That was such a rude thing to say! And his statement about pugs being better than cats! D: my cat is offended!!

My cat says: 'Meoow! Meow meow, meow meow meow! Meow -_-'

It is just what he thinks (and I can't blame him, pugs are better than cats :P) HOW COULD Y%u0347O%u0347U%u0347R%u0347 CAT SAY SUCH A HORRIBLE THING?!! PUGGLES COME HERE! Mr. Pug is writing a letter now.

Roof, Rf. Meow

ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOF

woof, Rf. Roof

Um. Maybe that's not the correct thing to sa- ROOOF!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok ok... -_-'

I can't believe I hadn't read this yet! I think the aspect I like most about this essay is that it gives voice to a party that literature rarely gives voice to -- the common cat.

This was both intriguing and unexpected! This is quite a piece @Love! :) I think your variance of punctuation mixed with the repetition of the chorus "meow" again and again is really well done, bringing the message right home.

Nice work here!

This was definitely an interesting read. I agreed with many of the points made, but I did disagree with one point in the second paragraph, where it said "Meow meow meow." I think that's a very broad statement and it wasn't preceeded by any sort of evidence or signal phrases.

There were no spelling or grammar errors, which was good. It showed you put a lot of dedication into editing this very thoughtful essay. It will also improve possible grades at Cat School. I hear it's very hard to pass. No one ever has.

Great job with this overall, some small points you might want to lengthen or add proof to. There were a lot of great points made in this essay. Keep working on this and improving!

Best wishes,
MJ

This was a very interesting piece of literature! You did a good job, i didn't see any spelling errors ( Considering your pretty much using the exact same word lol!) I feel like this actually keeps the reader guessing and makes them wonder what the cat is saying. Even though i have no clue what it's saying or talking about, it seems like a very philosophical cat! Lol! This was fun to read and very interesting! Keep writing! :)

Hello Heather! Gymnast2801 here for a review!
Fist off, wow. This was such an empowering pice of work about society!
Haha, joking. But I still really liked this! It wasn't at all what I expected. Heck, I just saw the word "cat" in your title and I was like, oh yeah I have to read this! Little was I exxoevting it to actually be in cat language! It was a nice twist and to loved it!

I am unsure of what the cat is saying (as if you wouldn't know) but I think it would be really cool if, maybe at the bottom of the page, you added a translation. Just a thought I had although I still like it as is :D.

Anyway, wonderful job here and keep on writing!

Okay this is pretty cool and funny. I was pretty tired and fed up when I was reading this, (a good friend of mine gave me the link. :) ) and I actually cracked up big time. But then again, I really don't understand cat language; so I'm not sure whether this is a sad story :O

Anyways, the grammar is perfect and everything seemed pretty neat. (well all I saw was 'moews; which actually bear much bigger meanings.) :D :D :D


Once again, this is pretty funny!!!
Have a good day and um, and I'm off to translate this with the help of my cat. :D :D
(hopefully, because he doesn't speak english either ;) )

This is not what I find funny.

The idea, in itself, is genius. I do find it that many others can laugh at it and I appreciate that. I do know that people will read this and go "Wow, this was really funny". That's a great thing if your work does that. I don't appreciate the randomness in it. It's just too random and too humor filled for my liking. I don't really have a sense of humor, so I'm sorry for that.

thanks.

Get rid of that "meow" and the essay will be free of errors( hint: I'm just messing with you. No really. Get rid of that "meow". LOL XD XD XD XD XD LOL LOL LOL)

Hello!

Well, your article was written nicely, good work. nice use of punctuation marks! there are some grammatical errors i found, i guess you wouldn't mind having a look in the "Modern Dictionary of Cats" and edit those errors?

It's really some deep, you know, serious stuffs, you've written in your article from the perspective of a cat, so pats on your back for that.

i really liked the way you repeated some words, again and again and again! like,

"Meow meow, mew meow, meow meow!" GOOD WORK!

anyway, it was pretty hard on my eyes though, i mean, your writing, but, no worries, glad to have such a fabulous read! it was literally shocking.

I'm not really sure what I expected when I clicked on this, but this DOES fit the bill... XD. To be honest, I was sort of expecting a criticism on society except for all the wrong reasons. Well, i think you spelled "Meow" wrong, and you put a few commas in the wrong place. For example,

"Meow mew mew Meow, Meow" Is grammatically incorrect. Maybe you meant
"Meow mew mew Meow mew, Meow?"

I think if you look at this piece in a philosophic way it does tell alot about our society today. in society today we call thing what they not, usually place large, impressive titles on things that are just everyday to make our lives sound impressive or better. our lives are frivolous and extemly repeative ith made a sall change once in a while. maybe im being too serious but i think we could actually find a representive of our society today

Well, what can I say? Vocabulary was excellent, but shouldn't there be commas between A LOT of these me's and meows and so forth? That's my only nitpick xD.
Also, I think the title is what really tied this together nicely. Obviously, it's meant to capture people's attention and make them wonder the deep philosophical poem that is about to await them.
To be honest, I think you revealed society's deepest secrets perfectly, down to your specific word choice and evident, careful time that you spent on this deep, philosophical, intelligent, artwork.
Keep writing!

Hello Lapis!

All this is quite true, but a little repetitive, you could have used a broader word choice, like "Rwaw!" or "Gaw" Either would have applied in several places. Also, I really like the part about feeding time, especially the part about people not bringing the food to you and you have to go get it. I've gone through that many a time, even humans have to go get their own meals you know.

On the issue of this work of art that you have posted, I see no problem with it. Even though several other felines have attempted something as beautiful as this, they have fallen short. You, however have been able to convey the emotions in such a wonderful way, that I say you wrote it, and all charges must be stopped.

Hey, it's OMGhamsterdweeb here to review your... thingmajiggy.

It's somehow understandable, as I am an animal myself. This cat seems to exclaim a lot and ask a question.
It's probably shocked about society, I guess, and is also questioning it.
Overall, this is fabulous. But you spelt it's language completely wrong. It's 'Miaow', not 'Meow'.

I expected an essay. All I got was a copy and pasted work of bitter insignificance. I was even more amazed at the amount of "likes" this work has received. I am not saying this because I cannot take a joke, but this joke isn't funny. But what did I expect from a work involving and enquiring from the perspective of a feline?

It was slightly cute to begin with me, but my smile soon went down like a lead balloon. I found this to be a waste of 250 points which could have been spent posting an actual work. I admire some joke pieces but I am a hard man to please.

I do not do any ratings because they are subjective, but I wouldn't give this a rating at all.

The idea is so simple, yet hilarious. I wonder what the Cat was saying, to be honest. No matter how stupid that sounds, it's true. This leaves a huge question mark. The real question is
WHAT DOES THE CAT SAY?!
RING A DING RING A DING RING A DING- I kid, I kid
I love this essay for the simplicity. This left me laughing out loud. Great job, Lapis. I don't think anyone else thought of this. I clap for you
Overall, Woof!
I can't give this a rating, due to it doesn't need one. It's awwsome.
Great job, Lapis
Keep writing
Stay groovy, my friend

You never cease to amaze me. This piece is so brilliantly worded and it makes me think twice about the way that I live. Perhaps I need to put some more "meow" into my life. I would suggest lengthening this a little more and your concluding sentence,

Meow meow meow meow, me meow meow meow meow. Mew meow, me me meow!


Is a bit short. I didn't quite understand what you were trying to get at. I loved your diversity of vocabulary and your choice of words was certainly outstanding. Keep Writing :)

How absolutely enlightening!

The language you used was of an eloquence that is rarely ever observed in essay-writing, and it flowed smoothly. There were no jarring bits or vague mentions anywhere! I applaud you on having written this piece, because it certainly provided a delightful insight into the feline mind, leaving nothing to be desired. Very well done! I have a suggestion to make, however...

Meow meow meow meow, meow meow. Meow meow, meow meow.


Now, since you are obviously talking about the enigma that is "mew meow," over here, I would suggest you make use of italics in order to emphasize the overall meow-osity you are trying to convey. Just a suggestion. I loved how deep you went with this sentence, otherwise. It really makes you think. *dabs eyes with a handkerchief*

There is nothing more to say, really. Wondertastic work!

Keep it up, keep writing! :D

I finally grew some guts to place my poor reviewing skills at the service of this marvelous piece.

The plot flows with a smoothness so perfect, cheese yogurt cannot even come close to a desire to be compared.

The words are so marvelously articulated than even were I to attempt to pick fault with this, my mind would blow.

The power and strength of their meows alone would be sufficient to mesmerize the world population into a peace and state of rapturous joy not known for thousands of years.

The rhythm is sufficiently awesome to revive any number of cardiac arrest patients at any point in time.

Its melody is so sweet to the ears that dogs pine away for this essay to be repeatedly read to them.

The fear of losing this cream of wisdom is so great that billions would give their lives to ensure its continued existence.

That, young readers, is the mark of an immortal essay.

We thank the author with many exultations and hope she may grant us more wisdom in the near future.

I, for one, am a huge fan of this essay. I thought it was very well crafted, and the wording you chose was extremely elegant. You have an talent. The points you made were very well-supported, and I'm not even exaggerating when I tell you that this piece literally changed my whole world view. Well done, sir cat.

Unfortunately, I showed your essay to my dog, and he did not seem to be quite as impressed as I was. In fact, he was extremely offended. He thought you were being very unfair and biased, and he was even threatening to find and eat you. He gathered up all his dog friends, and now they're in the middle of a very violent riot to find you... just thought I'd warn you.

In his words, he thinks your essay is, "Woof! Grrrr, grrrr, woof. Arf arf grrrr!"

I told him to watch his language, but you know dogs...

Such emotion, such sheer... sheer... POETRY! That was the word. I lost the word for a sec, but I got it back. You obviously haven't lost your words, though. I found your essay to be exhilarating : P

*Throws confetti* I have a surprise!! A review!
What this needs is the Meow Meow Meow Kitty Song playing in the background, and then it'll be even better.
There are a few things I need to point out. If this is an essay, you need an introduction, at least three body paragraphs, and a conclusion. Your Introduction is well formatted and done well, as are your first two paragraphs. However, you're missing your third paragraph. Also, your conclusion lacks a lot of ... colour? Emotion! That's the one! It states the points you've made, but maybe add a little more emotion. Put some real anger and sorrow into those words!! You have the beginnings of a masterpiece essay here ... just fix it up, and you'll have cats everywhere going, "Oh wow, never looked at it that way ... damn, he's right!"
(Hopefully we don't have a revolution of the cat! X3)
But, on a side note, you've described everything well, and as I've said, you have nicely structured paragraphs and your introduction is brilliantly written. Keep on keeping on, and I'd love to see more from you!!

Peace out Kitty!! Basil X3

What can I say? This is an amazing essay. Your arguments are well thought out and presented. You gave us a lot of information on the topic, but didn't waste time with irrelevant facts. You showcased your obviously extensive vocabulary while keeping it easy to understand. You started well and ended strongly.
This part:Meow, meow meow! Mew mew meow.

Meow meow meow meow, meow meow. Meow meow, meow meow. Meow, mew, meow meow, meow was extremely well written. While I might not agree with everything you say, paticularly here: Meow meow meow meow meow. Meow meow, mew. I can find no fault in your arguments.
Five stars from me

This is a great essay!
Even though I am more fluent in dog and jibberish, I can definitely understand the majority of language used in the text.


Firstly, I am glad that you haven't used any improper language for children viewing, as hissing and scratching may offend some non-cat loving people.
Secondly, the use of the word 'Meow!!!' in your second paragraph may have confused some, so I think you may have meant 'Ma Mew!!!' or possibly 'Mew Mew Meow!!!'.
All in all, the grammar and punctuation was pretty good, although I agree with BlueAfrica: your use of exclamation points is un-ideal for such a formal essay.

Quite a masterpiece,
-Odyssey.

Oh, I almost forgot: Meow mew, ma meow mow mew mew.

*adjusts highly academic glasses*

While I appreciate your flawless cat grammar and your beautiful cat diction, I must disapprove of your use of exclamation points in a formal essay. No exclamation points should be used in formal writing, to achieve the sort of ideal, dry stuffiness that is so favored by those of academia.

I'm going to try to review this. My Cat is a little rusty though. (better go oil him! haha...)

Okay, supposing this is supposed to be an actual essay, I'd like to say that the conclusion must be longer. 3-4 sentences is what the English teachers always tell me. Also, I don't think proper essays use more than one exclamation point at a time. So

Meow!!!

does not come off as very proper.

You might think of adding a third body paragraph, but it's okay as it is.

Your intro comes off as a bit choppy, I'd maybe change
Meow meow. Meow meow meow, meow meow.

into one sentence.

Also, I don't think you transition into your points very well, but your points were very clear. I liked your word choice and usage too. You made some points that really got me thinking. It's obvious that you put a lot of thought into your phrasing too.

All joking aside,
I think this was a very humorous "essay" and I really was not expecting it. This is truely one of a kind.
Good job with the punctuation too.
Sorry, it's hard to review this. xD
"meow" doesn't really look like a word anymore. Maybe add in a few more "mews" and maybe a purrr or hiss or two? What other sounds can cats make? Maybe it would break the monotony of just "meows" if you added in like, actions.
Meow, mew. *earflick* Meow mow mow. *tail swish* Meow meow, Meow mew. *Claw the air*
Maybe something like that?

I hope this helps! I Enjoyed this piece.

Love replied · Jan 24, 2014

Hehe, thank you XD *huggles* But I tried to keep it reasonably formal, so I didn't use hisses and other informal things of such a nature :3 And the "!!!" Was merely meant to express the frustration a cat feels after accepting the fact that the days of cat worship are gone XP I thought "!!!" Can sometimes be acceptable :3

I happen to be fluent in cat, and I must say, your grammar is flawless! I understand there are some minor variations between the Siamese Cat and Persian dialects, the latter of which I am more familiar with, but I was able to understand every word of it.

Keep up the great work and eat some meow mix!

Love replied · Jan 24, 2014

Aww thank you! :) I did try my best to keep the dialect as universal as possible while retaining the detail that may be difficult to achieve without resorting to the use of a wide variety of dialects which may seem esoteric to many a cat. Glad you liked it :)
