Did you know that hip hop act EL-P and Killer Mike recently released an album of cat sounds? It’s a re-creation of their critically acclaimed record Run the Jewels 2 using purrs and meows, and they did it because fans clamored for it through a Kickstarter page that started as a lark. Meow the Jewels is getting reviewed everywhere, even by our very own Phillip Mlynar.

The success of the cat-sounds album got us thinking: Why stop at a hip hop? Why not re-create other works of art — like the greatest films of all time! — with cat sounds? This should keep Hollywood busy for at least 20 years. Look how much better we made all these films — including The Princess Bride, Star Wars, Field of Dreams, and Wall Street — with a well-placed meow or two in these memorable lines:
- “My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to meow!”
- “Say meow to my little friend.”

- “Always be meowing.”
- “The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t meow.”
- “The point is, ladies and gentlemen, that meow, for lack of a better word, is good. Meow is right. Meow works. Meow clarifies, cuts through and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Meow, in all of its forms — meow for life, for money, for love, knowledge — has marked the upward surge of mankind.”
Alrighty then.
