24 Outrageous Cat Memes Zip-Zapping in Zoomies and Entering Fuzzy Freaky Feline Overdrive

Zoom zoom zoom. Your cat entered the zoomies mode! They zip and zap all around the house, making human parkour professionals look like crawling babies compared to them. Your cat runs fast, fast, fast - way 2 fast, way 2 furious. Your cat can definitely star in the next Fast and Furious film, preferably as the main villain. He'll be so hard to defeat. Or he might take Keanu Reeves and star in a Speed sequel, because this cat's speed seems like it's endless, boundless, limitless.

Until your cat calms down from what seems to be an endless zoomies overdrive, you might want to watch some cat memes to pass the time. You can look at some outrageous cat memes that match the zip-zap energy of your zooming cat, which will eventually relax from his fuzzy freaky feline overdrive. ZOOM ZOOM Zoom Zoom zoom zoom… There, he slowed down. Now you can look at these cat memes together.

Fans can attend the red carpet for The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim World Premiere in London on Dec 3

On Tuesday December 3, London's iconic Leicester Square will host the World Premiere of the feature-length anime The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim ahead of the general film's release on December 13 (note: some locations, such as Japan, are actually getting it a little later).

There will be a slew of cast and crew from the film in attendance: Brian Cox, Gaia Wise, and Laurence Ubong Williams, as well as director Kenji Kamiyama, producers Philippa Boyens, Jason DeMarco, and Joseph Chou, and singer Paris Paloma. Carlos Laloli, Peter Jackson, Ken Kamis, Sam Register, Phoebe Gittins and Arty Papageorgiou will also be there.

Warner Bros. says it will be setting setting up a an area for a "limited number of fans to watch the red carpet arrivals". Warner Bros. also say they are setting up a ballot, and are taking applications for double passes.

Applications will close at 23:59 GMT Wednesday 20th November and winners will be drawn at random.
