Warning: you're about to enter into an adventure full of unexpected plot twists and hilarity like only tumblr can provide. When a story prompt about the most wanted woman in town decided to marry only the person who can open the door to her house with the key around her cat's neck went viral on tumblr, we didn't think much of it.
But boy oh boy were we wrong, because - as tumblr does - it took this story and turned into one of the most simultaneously hilarious and heartwarming story of love, overcoming difficulties, and cats. Never forget the cat. No place on the internet does cat stories, cat pictures and cat memes quite link tumblr. That's why, no matter what happens, this platform never goes away. And you know what? We take part of the blame. We're keeping it alive, because you love it and because we love doing it.
Okay, so allow us to get cat-sappy for a second. We love how much cats inspire people. You would think that wouldn't be the case, it seems that not many other animals have that effect. We think it's because a cat's love is earned, not just given, so being able to feel that love - both in this story and in real life - is something that is not only immensely satisfying but also makes people know what it's like to work hard for someone's affection. Okay, cat-loving rant is over, back to our regularly scheduled funnies.
Honestly, I read it in the same way too, but it did not make it weird at all. I was simply imagining that these are people trying to get the affection of the villain in the story - who happens to be an all powerful woman... who is also a cat. And being that she is a cat, we felt exactly zero confusion over her world dominance, since we all know that's what cats would do if they weren't adorable little fluffballs.
