For the last decade the internet has been at the mercy of cute domesticated felines and we feel that it is our responsibility to liberate that internet from those cute claws. So here are our picks for animals we would use to scrub the internet of this <em>Felis catus<\/em> overload.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.
