My cat is pregnant I think I’m the father- ‘My cat is pregnant I think I’m the father’ is the name of an internet meme that began following a succession of ‘search bombings’ into the Google search engine in the year 2011.
It is also the title of the B-side found on several rare pressings of the Madonna hit single ‘Borderline’. More on that later.
Following a night of painful regret, 19-year-old Josh Piggins, from Cozad, Nebraska, entered his search into the Google search engine. While he pilfered through the results that were returned, something behind his computer monitor in the garden caught his eye.
It was his best mate Lance. In fact, that wasn’t what had caught his eye – that was the mirror that Lance was using to signal his attention.
Nevertheless, Josh dashed outside to see what Lance wanted, neglecting the fact he’d left his search about the cat and their spawn in plain sight on the computer screen.
Lance had news. Apparently one of their other mates had thrown up on a sidewalk the night before, leaving a horrendous stain. Authorities were apparently at the site testing for clues as to what had created this urban crop circle, Lance exclaimed excitedly.
Both guys headed off to the scene to take in the delights. Meanwhile, Josh’s younger brother Kenny stumbled upon his dodgy search on the computer.
Fortunately Kenny wasn’t old enough to read the search and certainly didn’t know what this meant for the future of his brother. But he was old enough to lean on the Return key many times, overloading the Google suggest server with the search ‘My cat is pregnant I think I’m the father’.
Now when Google users attempt to search ‘My cat is pregnant…’ handy Google suggest is there with the option ‘My cat is pregnant I think I’m the father’. Rough estimates predict around 1-in-7 cat owners find the suggestion useful, with an estimated 92 percent of those actually requiring the information contained within the search.
‘My cat is pregnant I think I’m the father’ was also the name of a B-side on a few rare pressings of Madonna’s 1984 single ‘Borderline’.
Around five animals rights protesters gathered when they heard of the intended inclusion of the song for release. They arranged a protest against the release of the song.
The protest took place on February 27th 1984 in Springdale, Arkansas. Six local heavy-handed pro-bestiality activists had received word of the protest and set about attacking the animal rights protesters three minutes from the beginning of the march. One of the pro-bests seized a sign that read “Leave cat sex to cats” and caused severe injury to three of the animal rights protesters. The incident marked Springdale’s bloodiest day.
Seeing the violence, the record label eventually agreed to remove the few copies featuring ‘My cat is pregnant I think I’m the father’ they had produced from sale. A total historical black out was brought about as part of the agreement.
Have you ever heard the Madonna song ‘My cat is pregnant I think I’m the father’? Have you ever seen a copy for sale? Tell us your story below.
Damp cats is an international slang reference used by road workers around the world to describe a piece of roading equipment that has gotten wet or slightly damp.
The term was originally coined to describe the popular road-division device ‘the cats eye’, but soon spread to mean just about anything found on the road.
There is barely a motel worker in the world who has not heard the distant cry of “DAMP CATS” on a dark, wet night, indicating that someone’s jacket has been left on the road and is getting wet. Or signifying some freshly laid concrete is flooding and may require drying by hand.
