So the Cats beat us to the first application of the Voice a la Dune? Thank god they only purr, and don't command us to sit there and pet them all day long. Otherwise, people would get sick of them, rebel against their feline masters, have a holy war against them, then eliminate all pro-cat objects, including but not limited to: lolcatz, Cat ears, Large portions of Anime and Manga, Cat-people, and laser-pointers designed to make the cats exercise for once in their dammed lives.
But...
Fifteen bucks says the furries will petition to bring back the cat-suits, but will be firmly denied.
