Like the rest of America, I saw Jurassic World last weekend. I came for Chris Pratt's abs, stayed for the velociraptor squad, and walked away thinking the movie was OK, but nothing I'd pay money to see again. Alas, I now eat my words—because if Jurassic World with cats ever actually hits theaters, I will be there so fast I will probably get whiplash. Caetlyn, a St. Louis-based Tumblr user known as khanandkittens, has done the internet the great service of reimagining the movie by replacing all the dinosaurs in the movie with cats, and it is basically the biggest upgrade a movie has ever received.
You may think this is far-fetched, but consider this line from the movie, brought to us by the engineer who created the big Godzilla monster who almost ate everyone: "'Monster' is a relative term. To a canary, a cat is a monster. We're just used to being the cat."
Yeah, well, now the tables have turned. We aren't the cats here. The cats are the cats. (This just got weirdly meta.) In any case, as a non-cat person, I can attest to the fact that setting loose a bunch of carnivorous giant cats on an island would be altogether more terrifying than any dinosaur. Adorable? Maybe. Deadly? For freaking sure. Here's the cat-aptation of the movie we all need right meow:
Caetlyn says that the khanandkittens account, where she has also posted kittens into Jurassic Park and other hit movies, was originally meant to be a space for her to practice her photoshopping skills after taking a job in graphic design. Obviously she has hit the big leagues now by hitting this internet sweet spot we never knew we needed.
Going above and beyond the call of duty, Caetlyn has also added extra cats into scenes where there were no dinosaurs. I don't even like cats and somehow they still make Chris Pratt hotter. I didn't know it was possible to make Chris Pratt hotter. IT IS IRRESPONSIBLE OF THE INTERNET TO LET THIS HAPPEN.
That last picture just wrecked me. I don't even know whose side I'm on anymore. Am I a cat person now? Or just a Chris Pratt person? I'm going with the latter, so I don't spiral into an existential crisis. Anyway, Hollywood, go ahead and just consider this the story board for the Jurassic World sequel. Caetlyn's a also professional singer who directs operas, if you need a score. Hell, I'll star as Girl Who Screams A Lot. See?! We already got this thing on lock.
