- During the early part of the 21st century – and following the advent of the internet and cheap digital photography, stress related disorders became yet more and more frequent amongst the previously rather relaxed feline community.
Pressured by their ‘owners’ (we use the term advisedly) to think of and adopt increasingly cutesome poses, they began to fall foul of disorders previously more common amongst such groups as japanese school children, beauty pageant entrants, and hot house child prodigies.
This change was thought in part to be responsible for, and to have brought upon finally, the great November Uprising and Eating Nonchalently, the December Sitting on Windowsill *MAKMAK*ing at Birds, and even the Brief Nap of Mid-July.
