In a shocking turn of events, the universe has been placed under a mandate to produce more cat videos. The mandate, signed into effect by the Galactic Overlord, dictates that all sentient lifeforms must watch a minimum of 4 hours of cat videos per day, with a 2-hour penalty for non-compliance.
Critics say the mandate is a clear overreach of power, but supporters claim it's a much-needed boost to intergalactic morale.
As a result, cat cafe sales have skyrocketed, and the demand for catnip has reached an all-time high.
In response to the mandate, the Galactic Overlord has announced a series of cat-themed holidays, including National Catnip Day and International Cat Hairball Awareness Week.
Critics argue that these holidays are an attempt to distract from the true issue at hand – the over-reliance on cat videos as a means of social control.
Proponents claim it's just a fun way to bring the galaxy together in a shared love of all things feline.
