The reason why this story has continued to find an audience is because Jess’ writing (and accompanying photographs) have brought this group of miscreants to life for us. Their shenanigans are endlessly delightful to those who love them, of course, but often make for awkward conversations with non-pet owning friends who aren’t charmed by their idiocy the way that you are. Their audience of pet parents cannot get enough of the antics of the Chucklefuck and Friends posse because the things that Jess and Nikii describe could be tales from their own homes.Īnimals are universally weird. For content creators it is a lesson about noticing everyday opportunities for connection with an audience and bringing those moments to life in relatable ways. This story is about more than three cats who won’t get the hell off their moms’ new blender. Temperamental Chucklefuck and Friends (the collective of cats Max, George, and Lando) were not fooled and decoy box carcasses soon found themselves as cardboard material martyrs in the story of our heroes and their cat overlords. The three cats - Max, otherwise known as the “sentient soccer ball,” George: Destroyer of Worlds (“sentient potato”) and Lando Calrissian (“the questionably sentient dust bunny,”), are giving their “Middle-aged Lesbian” Moms (“MALs” for short) some truly hilarious content for their dedicated Facebook page and Jess’s Twitter account.īut it’s Jessica’s writing talents documenting the ordeal that has truly taken this random story into the consciousness of millions who are eagerly following the saga as it continues.Įven Vitamix has noticed and tried to help resolve the hostage situation by sending new decoy boxes to the home. It’s been over a month since the floof occupation of this disputed territory in the couple’s kitchen. This is now their life’s purpose - guarding the Vitamix box so that it can never be opened and their human servants can kiss their smoothie dreams goodbye. When I say, “unending interest” I mean the floofs now live on top of the box 24/7. Their three cats took an immediate and unending (read obsessive) interest in the box that has had them sitting atop it guarding it like a prized dead bird.

Since then, the cats have refused to leave the box, fighting over who gets to perch upon it and taking turns standing guard while the others eat or are busy elsewhere. Then Max’s 13-year-old feline siblings, George: Destroyer of Worlds (“sentient potato”) and Lando Calrissian (“the questionably sentient dust bunny,”), demanded their turn on the knee-high box. Jessica thought it was funny and snapped a photo. Her 4-year-old tuxedo cat, Max, otherwise known as the “sentient soccer ball,” jumped up on the box. Jessica put the hefty box down on the floor in the kitchen, just for a second. 16 at their home on Vancouver Island in British Columbia.
