Meme Watch: Restraining Cat Dispenses Timely Advice

A few days ago, Redditor ramzie posted an adorable picture of two cats looking in the same direction while one appeared to be holding back the other. The picture reminded some of us of the Antoine de Saint-Exupéry quote, "Love is not two people gazing at each other, but two people looking ahead together in the same direction." Or maybe they're just cats, and the one doing the "hugging" is about to go for the jugular.

Anyway, there's no time to get sentimental about relationships when we could be making jokes about misanthropic, scheming cats instead. Redditor ssimoll quickly captioned the photo with the joke above, and that spawned several more funny image macros. Many of them refer to the calico as "Carl" even though calico cats are almost always female. So . . . Carla, then? Regardless of the names we ascribe to them, these cats are adorable, and the image macro possibilities seem endless.
