Columbus Day: Your Cat's Quest to Discover New Territories in Your Home
Compartir
Presented by NekoPunch – Because Every Cat is a Tiny, Furry Conquistador.
October brings crisp air, pumpkin spice... and a national holiday celebrating Christopher Columbus’s accidental discovery of the New World. But let’s be honest: the real explorers? They’re purring on your couch right now, plotting their next voyage… straight into the forbidden linen closet.
Welcome to Columbus Day: Cat Edition.
🛋️ The Living Room: A Previously “Discovered” Territory
Cats love to revisit “discovered” lands. The coffee table? Explored 274 times. The couch? Claimed. The lamp? Fell in battle.
But that doesn’t stop your feline Columbus from leaping boldly where they’ve gone many times before—knocking over your latte like it’s an act of conquest.
🧺 The Laundry Basket: A Hidden Civilization
Much like ancient ruins, the laundry basket is rich with soft treasures, mysterious smells, and occasionally, your last clean sock. For your cat, this is El Dorado, and no human shall disturb them as they lounge atop Mt. Wrinkled Towels.
🚪The Closet: The Final Frontier
Cats believe in two things:
-
Every door is hiding something magical.
-
If it’s closed, it must be opened immediately.
Whether it’s a closet, cupboard, or that cabinet you haven’t opened since 2013, your cat is determined to explore it. Is it food? A portal to another realm? A forbidden sweater nest? They don’t know yet—but they’re going in.
🪴 The Plant Shelf: A Dangerous Expedition
Like Columbus navigating the seas, your cat carefully tiptoes through this treacherous terrain... and then knocks over three succulents for good measure.
This expedition ends with dirt on the floor, a broken pot, and your cat looking at you like you’re the one who ruined everything.
📚 Fun Feline + Exploration Trivia!
-
The Norwegian Forest Cat is believed to have traveled on Viking ships, keeping rodent populations in check. Your cat? Would’ve demanded a heated throne and unlimited fish snacks.
-
A group of cats is called a clowder, but we prefer to call them a fleet when they’re on an exploratory mission (usually into your grocery bags).
-
Cats have a Jacobson’s organ, which allows them to "taste" smells. So yes, that weird face they make after sniffing your shoes is basically them reviewing the flavor profile of your foot.
