What is it about the internet and cats?

December 5, 2012 at 11:36 pm

Seriously, it seems like there's some internet obsession with cats! It seems like half the time when the internet creates a new running gag (aka meme), it involves cats! Look at the examples:

We started with 4chan's caturday/lol cats:

Which gave rise to specific lolcats, most well known being longcat:

Then we started getting things like keyboard cat:

Not to mention ZOMG cat:

And Chemistry Cat:

Even a crazy cat lady was able to get her video to go viral:

And it's still going! The most recent cat-meme seems to be grumpy cat:

What gives? Why is the internet so obsessed with cats?
