If cats could talk, they'd ignore us.
Cheerio dear animal aficionados, I am a British-born feline fanatic with space in my heart for the all awwdorable animals of the world. I got into the world of memery at an early age while scrolling the pages of Reddit. I've always loved giving animals a voice, for they are the only ones on this planet who are not beholden to our societal norms and can say what they please without consequence. Through my Psychology B.Sc. I was able to explore the impact of animal memes on our mental states and nature connectedness, which has only gone and intensified my admiration and adoration of animal memes. The original definition of a meme was something that is adopted culturally and reiterated upon by the masses, giving us, as meme creators and curators, the opportunity to influence opinion and change the way we look at the animal kingdom. I hope that with my work here I can give animals a more defined voice that advocates for them and their health and safety on this planet. I have been writing since 2020 and specializing in memes since 2022. Suffice it to say I have found my passion, and it is pawdorable puppers and fluffy felines. You can find some of my own meme creations over on my Instagram.
