One little picture of Dudley on Facebook. That’s all it took for the Catopia algorithm to switch into high gear. And today? Unfortunately it’s bathroom themed.
.
.
Yikes.
.
.
Not anymore, no. Although thanks to Covid and an injured knee…. there is a whole lot more of it.
.
.
Wow.
.
.
I’d say this poster is a little cheeky, but that’s a tad too on point.
.
.
If Dudley wanders in and hands me the toilet paper? I’m totally ditching Facebook.
.
.
My Facebook page is currently flooded with cat related products. I’m not complaining, it certainly beats the ball wash and butt deodorant I used to see. And hey… if I enjoy doing beer flights?
.
.
I’m sure Lord Dudley Mountcatten would not be averse to a flight of kitty chronic.
This next product looked promising for me winning the cat box war.
.
.
Though ridiculously large, it’s self contained and would stop our furry menace from flinging litter.
.
.
Hmm. Guess that’s a no.
And I hate to admit it but yes, I broke down and ordered something silly.
.
.
A personalized mask of me and Dudley. Granted I haven’t worn a cropped, midriff baring blouse in 20 (okay, 25. Geesh!) years…. but the hair color and wide hips are pretty close.
😉
.
.
.
Yes, this really is a thing.
.
.
And they’re not exactly giving them away either.
.
.
Dudley also doesn’t need a scratcher that looks like a sardine can.
.
.
I mean, Christ…. look what happened to this poor cat when he used it.
.
.
No thank you annoying Facebook algorithm, Dudley will live quite happily without this as well.
.
.
I’m sure the cat in the advertisement would much rather have had a bowl of tuna.
.
.
And will be pooping in his parents slippers as soon as they go to sleep tonight.
.
.
Finally, something worth exploring.
.
.
Hmm…
.
.
Pomegranate wine sounds intriguing… but Gatorade Chablis?
The horror!
And speaking of horrors.
.
.
Butt deodorant is back.
.
.
Bacteria is digesting my bodily fluids?
Holy crap.
I’m going to need a lot of homemade wine.
.
.
Yes, after posting one cute Dudley Mountcatten picture…. Facebook has decided that I need to see all the ridiculous things cat owners purchase while genuflecting before the altar of their furry diety.
.
.
No.
I’m sorry, but I feel absolutely no need to cuddle a stuffed cat log. Although, they would make an interesting club to whack the husband with when he gets out of line.
.
.
Oh no, Hell no.
While I did chortle over the plethora of Bernie in his quintessentially New England winter attire memes, I have no desire for a personalized cat version on my wall.
.
.
Hmm. Dead rodent door knocker? Only if it comes in a red squirrel version…
.
.
I clicked on the video.
But in my defense…. how could I not? It had a talking ass that wasn’t a politician. That’s a rare thing these days.
.
.
I knew it would be bad, I knew! But I clicked on it anyway… and boy, I wasn’t wrong.
There were directions.
.
.
And the aforementioned chatty butt holes.
.
.
(Who dreams up these things?)
.
.
They were quite explicit about where the offending odors originate.
.
.
But by the time I reached this part of the video?
.
.
I had to turn it off. With the knowledge that I’ve doomed myself to a slew of bizarre Facebook ads for months to come.
.
.
Lately Facebook’s algorithms have given me non stop ball wash and butt deodorant. I have no idea why …. as I don’t have balls or need to perfume my ass.
But this?
This is definitely a bridge too far.
.
.
Tofu!
For the love of all that’s holy…. no.
I don’t eat it.
I won’t eat it.
And you can’t make me eat it.
.
.
A more disgusting thing to put in my mouth I have never met.
And that’s saying something.
.
.
Our town has come up with some marvelously creative ways to keep kids active and engaged during the Covid months. This is the latest.
.
.
Businesses and public areas are all displaying clues.
In other news, people are offering free treasures.
.
.
Dirty, smoke stained old cups from a discontinued set? Christ, don’t tell my husband.. he’d be on them like white on rice.
.
.
An icicle contest. Most excellent!
.
.
Our big one had grown to 5 feet so I proudly entered it to take the lead…..
.
.
Until Robert showed up.
.
.
Damn you Robert. You and your massive projectile.
.
.
The crazy cat lady Facebook algorithm is in full swing.
.
.
Does my furniture require cat feet stockings?
.
.
It most definitely does not.
.
.
That goes the same for my feet….
.
.
And my lips.
.
.
Cat ear beret? Okay, I admit I could almost see myself wearing that.
.
.
Is it me, or does this cat look like he’s plotting his owner’s slow and painful dismemberment?
.
.
Unisex? On what planet….
.
.
But there.
At least they got something right.
.
.
You upload one little photo of your new family member to Facebook.
.
.
Just one, to show everyone how sweet he is…. and that damn algorithm kicks into high gear.
Now, along with the constant ball wash and toilet incense ads?
I’m getting these:
.
.
Cat butt pillow cases?
No.
I love our new little furry friend…. but have absolutely no desire to slip off into dreamland with my face on his ass crack.
One feline does not a crazy cat lady make.
