This Friday is a National Day of Unplugging. From sundown Friday until the sundown Sat, this day encourages you to spend some time off your devices and interacting with those around you.

However, I would never discourage you from logging into wikiHow and making great edits like these I spotted over the last week!

Congrats everyone!

Enjoy!

Who says all cats hate water?

An old internet classic.

Nyan Pikachu! (technically not a cat)

“Let me… ugh… in! Must. Grab. Plug. Gotcha!”

I am PUSS… IN BOOTS!
*Puss Suite intensifies*

Edit: Currently fixing gifs Gifs have been fixed.
