Saturday is Caturday: The Olympian Breeds of the Cat World

By

Some cats are lap potatoes. Others? They’re pure muscle wrapped in fur, built like sprinters or gymnasts. If agility were an Olympic event, these five would own the podium.

Abyssinian — The Acrobat

• Nickname: The Parkour Artist

• Lean, long-legged, and wired like a coil.

• They don’t walk into a room — they scale it, bounce off the fridge, and perch on the curtain rod like it’s natural.


Oriental Shorthair — The Gymnast

• Nickname: The Springboard

• Insane muscle-to-bone ratio; can leap 6+ feet straight up.

• Combine that with curiosity, and suddenly every shelf is a jungle gym.


Bengal — The Sprinter

• Nickname: The Wild Card

• Descended from Asian leopard cats, they’ve got that wildcat engine.

• Known for lightning sprints and gravity-defying vertical jumps.


Savannah Cat — The High Jumper

• Nickname: The NBA Draft Pick

• Hybrid of domestic cats and servals.

• Famous for jumping up to 8 feet in the air — like dunking on your living room.


Turkish Van — The Swimmer

• Nickname: The Aquacat

• Unique among cats: they love water.

• Strong bodies, thick tails, and the only feline who treats your pool like a training lane.


Honorable Mention

The everyday domestic shorthaired cat — the underdog athlete. Give them a laser pointer and they’ll break land speed records across your living room.

It exposed rot that had been lurking beneath charm, networking, and the polished illusion of respectability. These were not anonymous internet basement dwelling trolls. They were congressional aides, campaign staffers, interns, and strategists. They are the ones who will inherit the microphones, the legislation, the power, and the laws. In that putrid chat, they wrote like people who believed they were protected. They used slurs as punctuation and bonded over cruelty. The reaction from the GOP was predictable: a few suspensions, some hollow statements, and a chorus of “That’s not who we are.” Worthless excuses that no one who paid attention would believe. This is exactly who they are when they think no one is watching. But this story isn’t just about them. It’s about the ones who knew and...
