So I was trying to think of some way to justify posting these two pictures of huuuuge cats that I came across today, the second via the incredible Tonk. Nobody wants to be one of those people, yknow, the kind that post cat pictures. The kind that have a bubbly logo of some cheesy-sleazy humour website stamped across a bottom corner. But eh, look at these cats. Kind of disturbingly redolent of when someone catches a huge fish, and then grins for the waterproof-disposable-camera-flash. Hello!

And why is the first person so happy? That cat looks like it could cheerfully maul a small child (wearing socks, at that - look at its paws). Unless the small child mauled it first.

I’m reminded of these kids we saw at Siren Fest, Coney Island last Saturday, who, upon coming across a spasming jellyfish on the beach, clubbed it to death with a large plank of driftwood. We were kind of shuffle wading (the kind you do when clutching cameras and phones) in the water, and backed out when we saw it, only to have it wash right up in front of us. Someone said,

“I wonder what will happen to tha-” BAM!!

Appearing up out of nowhere, I might add, and taking what seemed to be a rather unholy glee at its transparent demise. Perhaps most disturbingly, a little larger-but still decidedly small girl of the bunch screamed joyously, “Wooo! Let’s go kill another one!!”. Oh dear.

The mural is by London’s Brick Lane, by the way, and taken by steeev
