    I think I recall this being a sociology student project. Or maybe I just want to see it as a serious thing, so I made up the sociology part a few years ago.

    I think that once pet lovers realize that this was aimed at them, to unveil their cruel hipocrisy, the message they get is very strong.
    It's a clever scheme:
    First people get very emotional and spread the email chain to ban the site and save the cats. Then the joke is unveiled, the roles reversed. They realize that they are the villains who cripple cats and keep them in cages humans call home.
    But I think that very few people got the message, most just forwarded the letter and never got the sarcastic joke played on them
