Meme Cats. 485 reasons why we don't have images here.
There's something about cat pictures that are infinitely more amusing than dog pictures (or any other animal). Dunno, maybe cause I'm a cat person.

Sure. Because cats have an inbred sense of superiority that is irresistible to smack down. Nobody ever expects dogs to be poised with all their ass-sniffing and gas-passing.

I was having a conversation with Ben and Ben a few weeks ago where I suggested this consistent grammar for lolcats could be a "cweeole".

I can't stop looking at cat macros. I subscribe to the livejournal cat_macro community, even though it's not very funny. I read every page on icanhascheezburger.com.
And now, I narrate the life of my cat in "tweeole." There's even a special voice for it.
I can't stop.

Mereloyglib: Then this post is for you. From the intro: I have a cat. I have lived with many cats. Cats would not type like that. They wouldn’t use “UR” and they would certainly not hold down the caps lock all damned day. I thought about this and I felt that perhaps, just maybe, the cats needed to say things in a different way. The same things, mind you, just not with the same words.
