The U.S. Army Corps Of Engineers Used Cats To Design The Best Calendar That Everyone Will Want
Someone clearly told the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers they could not just build massive dams and call it a day. So they did the most unexpected thing possible: they designed a calendar where cats roast the month, and the infrastructure does not get left out.
Each page is basically a tiny comedy sketch starring a kitten on the front, paired with real dam-and-water facts, like “60,000 cubic feet of water per second” in June and “When you have to go, you have to go” in December. The complicated part is that it has to be funny, accurate, and somehow still work as a schedule planner for normal humans.
And honestly, once you see a cat sitting on Lookout Point Dam doing the “That tracks” thing, you will never look at a calendar the same way again.
The calendar front features a cutie on a massive boat
Hi cutie-pie
January: "What the Hills Creek is THAT??!!"
February: "Two new openings if anyone wants 'em"
Now hiring
March: "For the love of Green Peter, this kitten is just adorable"
The actual cutest
April: "You know if cats were giant, this would be a real photo"
Very accurate
May: "We felt like we had to impress it"
Show-offs
June: "Nothing like 60,000 cubic feet of water per second to rock you to sleep"

Nothing quite like the sound of rushing water to lull you to sleep

Keep your dreams alive
September: "They're famous to us, anyway"
Giving us "my mom says I'm cool" vibes
October: "The chances of it happening are very, very low. But never zero."
So, there's still a chance
November: "A cat on the prowl at Lookout Point Dam"
That tracks
December: "When you have to go, you have to go"
When nature calls...
And it ends with Detroit Dam and its many talents
The whole thing kicks off with January staring at that “massive boat” like it’s the wildest thing to ever happen on a dam schedule.
Then February slides in with “Two new openings if anyone wants ’em,” because apparently the cat is also in charge of announcements.
By March, the kitten is stealing the spotlight with “For the love of Green Peter, this kitten is just adorable,” and the calendar stops pretending it’s serious.
And by December, it lands on Detroit Dam and its many talents, ending with “When you have to go, you have to go” like that’s the final engineering lesson.
This calendar is such a clever mix of informative and silly. Definitely a fun way to keep track of your schedule while learning a bit about Oregon’s infrastructure.
It also serves as a humorous reminder that cats are going to cat, and there’s not much anyone can do about it.
This calendar proves cats can be both chaotic and weirdly educational at the same time.
