Oh, hai! Lolcats is here
Cute felines with captions become an Internet fad – twisted grammar and all

Happy Cat is a jolly, rotund, glassy-eyed gray kitty with a serious "cheezburger" problem. And when Jennifer Glas, 20, first saw his impossibly adorable image on the Internet, she questioned his existence.

"Is he even real?" asked the Indiana University student. "He looks like a stuffed animal or a puppet."

Happy may indeed be a faux kitty, but he is a genuine lolcat. Lolcats are a breed of crazy cat pictures accompanied by babyish captions that have exploded virally on the Internet, popping up in myspace.com comments, e-mail forwards and every corner of cyberspace. In computer speak, they're an example of a meme, or a unit of cultural information that multiplies until it becomes a phenomenon. In a cute-obsessed Internet world, lolcats are in the same vein as cuteoverload.com and stuffonmycat.com, but much weirder.

These modern, bizarro counterparts to those "Hang in There" motivational pet posters of the 1970s have been slinking around the Internet for years under various labels, but they didn't become a sensation until early this year with the advent of icanhascheezburger.com, which tags each kitty pic with identifying words like "muneez"(money) or "halp" (help) and makes them easier to find.

Interesting article about lolcats.

The New York Times today...okay, so the NYT did not run an article about LOLcats. But OMG this line is very fitting ROFLMAO.

Cats are “indicators of human cultural adolescence”

Very interesting read: Study Traces Cat’s Ancestry to Middle East

EDIT: Also, icanhascheezburger.com ran three iPhone lolcats today.

I love the second one.

Okay, no kittenspeak to speak of, but I wanted to imply that this cat is a professional.
