20 Classically Comedic Cat Memes That Remind You of the Good Ol' Days of the Internet

Back when things were still fun, cats ruled the internet. We're taking you back.

A lot has changed since the 2000s. Low-rise jeans are no longer in style, the baby beginnings of social media have now become titans of industry, and the world feels a whole lot smaller. But those aren't the only things that have changed - we feel that the internet has become a bit… darker. Maybe it's because we still had the innocence of youth back then, but we remember the internet being a much sillier and more pawsitive place. We played online with our friends, nurturing our NeoPets, listened to the Hamster Dance on repeat, and enjoyed making silly cat memes (AKA, Lolcats) while pretending figuring out ridiculous ways to spell things to make it sound like a cat said it.

Today, our feeds are full of biased news stories, advertisements, and scams. But we're changing that. Or rather, we're fighting against it by continuing to write the stoopidest, silliest, and most feline cat content on the internet. We're putting pawsitivity back on the internet, and we're doing so by continuing the great tradition of Lolcats: making homemade cat memes from cat lovers, for cat lovers. 

We're here to put cats back as the kings and queens of the internet, which is exactly where they should be. Ignore everything else for a few minutes and enjoy what the internet was created for: connecting people with common interests, and worshipping cats. Lucky for you, we're purrviding you an opportunity to do both in this very article. Enjoy this week's selection of fresh feline funnies, and we'll see you next week!
