Images, videos andmemes ofdomestic cats make up some of the most viewed content on theWorld Wide Web.Thought Catalog has described cats as the "unofficial mascot of the Internet".[1]
The subject attracted the attention of various scholars and critics, who have analysed why this subject has reached iconic status. Although it may be considered frivolous, cat-related Internet content contributes to how people interact with media and culture.[2] Some argue that there is a depth and complexity to this seemingly simple content, with a suggestion that thepositive psychological effects that pets have on their owners also hold true for cat images viewed online.[3]
Research has suggested that viewing online cat media is related to positive emotions, and that it even may work as a form of digital therapy or stress relief for some users. Some elements of research also show that feelings of guilt when postponing tasks can be reduced by viewing cat content.[4]
Someindividual cats, such asGrumpy Cat andLil Bub, have achieved popularity online because of their unusual appearances and funny videos.

Humans have a longstandingrelationship with cats, and the animals have often been a subject of short films, including the early silent moviesBoxing Cats (1894) andThe Sick Kitten (1903).[5] Harry Pointer (1822–1889) has been cited as the "progenitor of the shameless cat picture".[6] Cats have been shared via email since the Internet's rise to prominence in the 1990s.[7] The first cat video onYouTube was uploaded in 2005 by YouTube co-founder Steve Chen, who posted a video of his cat called "Pajamas andNick Drake".[7] The following year, "Puppy vs Cat" became the first viral cat video; uploaded by a user called Sanchey (a.k.a. Michael Wienzek);[8] as of 2015[update] it had over 16 million views on YouTube.[7] In aMashable article that explored the history of cat media on the Internet, the oldest entry was anASCII art cat that originated on2channel, and was a pictorial representation of the phrase "Please go away."[9] The oldest continuously operating cat website is sophie.net, which launched in October 1999 and is still operating.[10]
The New York Times described cat images as "that essential building block of the Internet".[11] In addition, 2,594,329 cat images had been manually annotated in flickr.com by users.[12] An interesting phenomenon is that many photograph owners tag their house cats as "tiger".[13]
Eric Nakagawa and Kari Unebasami started the websiteI Can Haz Cheezburger in 2007, where they shared funny pictures of cats. This site allowed users to createLOLcatmemes by placing writing on top of pictures of their cats. By 2015, the site had more than 100 million views per month and had "created a whole new form of internet speak".[7] In 2009, the humour site Urlesque deemed September 9 "A Day Without Cats Online", and had over 40 blogs and websites agree to "[ban] cats from their pages for at least 24 hours".[14] As of 2015[update], there are over 2 million cat videos onYouTube alone, and cats are one of the most searched keywords on the Internet.[7] CNN estimated that in 2015 there could be around 6.5 billion cat pictures on the Internet.[15] The Internet has been described as a "virtual cat park, a social space for cat lovers in the same way that dog lovers congregate at a dog park".[16]The Daily Telegraph deemedNyan Cat the most popular Internet cat,[17] while NPR gave this title to Grumpy Cat.[18]The Daily Telegraph also deemed the best cat video on YouTube as "Surprised Kitty (Original)", which currently has over 75 million views.[19] Buzzfeed deemed Cattycake the most important cat of 2010.[20]
In 2015, an exhibition called "How Cats Took Over The Internet" opened at theMuseum of the Moving Image in New York.[21] The exhibition "looks at the history of how they rose to internet fame, and why people like them so much".[7] There is even a book entitledHow to Make Your Cat an Internet Celebrity: A Guide to Financial Freedom.[22] The annualInternet Cat Video Festival celebrated and awards the Golden Kitty to cat videos.[23] According toStar Tribune, the festival's success is because "people realized that the cat video they'd chuckled over in the privacy of their homes was suddenly a thousand times funnier when there are thousands of other people around".[24]The Daily Telegraph had an entire article devoted to International Cat Day.[25] EMGN wrote an article entitled "21 Reasons Why Cats And The Internet Are A Match Made in Heaven".[26]
In 2015, there were more than 2 million cat videos on YouTube, with an average of 12,000 views each – a higher average than any other category of YouTube content.[27] Cats made up 16% of views in YouTube's "Pets & Animals" category, compared to dogs' 23%.[28] The YouTube videoCats vs. Zombies merged the two Internet phenomena of cats and zombies.[29] Data from BuzzFeed and Tumblr has shown that dog videos have more views than those of cats, and less than 1% of posts onReddit mention cats.[30] While dogs are searched for much more than cats, there is less content on the Internet.[31] The Facebook page "Cats" has over 2 million likes while Dogs has over 6.5 million.[32] In an Internet tradition,The New York Times Archives Xaccount posts cat reporting throughout the history of the NYT.[33][34] The Japanese prefecture of Hiroshima launched an online Cat Street View, which showed the region from the perspective of a cat.[35][36]
Abigail Tucker, author ofThe Lion in the Living Room, a history of domestic cats, has suggested that cats appeal particularly because they "remind us of our own faces, and especially of our babies ... [they're] strikingly human but also perpetually deadpan".[37][38]
Jason Eppink, curator of theMuseum of the Moving Image's showHow Cats Took Over the Internet, has noted the "outsized role" of cats on the Internet.[39]Wired magazine felt that the cuteness of cats was "too simplistic" an explanation of their popularity online.[30]
A scientific survey found that the participants were happier after watching cat videos.[7][40] The researcher behind the survey explained "If we want to better understand the effects the Internet may have on us as individuals and on society, then researchers can't ignore Internet cats anymore"[41] and "consumption of online cat-related media deserves empirical attention".[42] TheHuffington Post suggested that the videos were a form of procrastination, with most being watched while at work or ostensibly studying,[43] while IU Bloomington commented "[it] does more than simply entertain; it boosts viewers' energy and positive emotions and decreases negative feelings".[44]Business Insider argues "This falls in line with a body of research regarding the effects that animals have on people."[45] A 2015 study by Jessica Gall Myrick found that people were more than twice as likely to post a picture or video of a cat to the Internet than they were to post aselfie.[27]
Maria Bustillos considers cat videos to be "the crystallisation of all that human beings love about cats", with their "natural beauty and majesty" being "just one tiny slip away from total humiliation", which Bustillos sees as a mirror of thehuman condition.[46] When the creator of theWorld Wide Web,Tim Berners-Lee, was asked for an example of a popular use of the Internet that he would never have predicted, he answered, "Kittens".[47] A 2014 paper argues that cats' "unselfconsciousness" is rare in an age ofhyper-surveillance, and cat photos appeal to people as it lets them imagine "the possibility of freedom from surveillance", while presenting the power of controlling that surveillance as unproblematic.[48]Time magazine felt that cat images tap into viewers nature as "secret voyeurs".[28]
TheCheezburger Network considers cats to be the "perfect canvas" for human emotion, as they have expressive facial and body aspects.[49]Mashable offered "cats' cuteness, non-cuteness, popularity among geeks, blank canvas qualities, personality issues, and the fact that dogs just don't have 'it'" as possible explanations to cats' popularity on the Internet.[50] A paper entitled ""I Can Haz Emoshuns?" – Understanding Anthropomorphosis of Cats among Internet Users" found that Tagpuss, an app that showed users cat images and asked them to choose their emotion "can be used to identify cat behaviours that lay-people find difficult to distinguish".[relevant?][51]
Jason Eppink, curator of the "How Cats Took Over the Internet" exhibition, explained: "People on the web are more likely to post a cat than another animal, because it sort of perpetuates itself. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy. [sic]"[34][52]Jason Kottke considers cats to be "easier to objectify" and therefore "easier to make fun of".[53] Journalist Jack Shepherd suggested that cats were more popular than dogs because dogs were "trying too hard", and humorous behavior in a dog would be seen as a bid for validation. Shepherd sees cats' behavior as being "cool, and effortless, and devoid of any concern about what you might think about it. It is art for art's sake".[54]
Cats have historically been associated withmagic, and have been revered by various human cultures, the ancient Egyptians worshipping them as gods and the creatures being feared as demons in ancient Japan,[15] such as thebakeneko.Vogue magazine has suggested that the popularity of cats on the Internet is culturally-specific, being popular in North America, Western Europe, and Japan. Other nations favor different animals online, Ugandans sharing images of goats and chickens, Mexicans preferring llamas, and Chinese Internet users sharing images of theriver crab andgrass-mud horse due to double-meanings of their names allowing them to "subvert government Internet censors".[55]

The cute cat theory of digital activism is atheory concerningInternet activism,Internet censorship, and "cute cats" (a term used for any low-value, but popular online activity) developed byEthan Zuckerman in 2008.[56][57] It posits that most people are not interested in activism; instead, they want to use the web for mundane activities, including surfing forpornography andlolcats ("cute cats").[58] The tools that they develop for that (such asFacebook,Flickr,Blogger,Twitter, and similar platforms) are very useful tosocial movement activists, who may lack resources to develop dedicated tools themselves.[58] This, in turn, makes the activists more immune to reprisals by governments than if they were using a dedicated activism platform, because shutting down a popular public platform provokes a larger public outcry than shutting down an obscure one.[58]
Because of the relative newness of this industry, most owners of famous cats found themselves stumbling into Internet stardom without intentionally planning it.[59]

Tardar Sauce (born April 4, 2012 – May 14, 2019),[60][61] better known by her Internet name "Grumpy Cat", was a cat andInternet celebrity known for her grumpyfacial expression.[62][63][64] Her owner, Tabatha Bundesen, says that her permanently grumpy-looking face was due to anunderbite andfeline dwarfism.[62][65][66] Grumpy Cat's popularity originated from a picture posted to Reddit by Bundesen's brother Bryan on September 22, 2012.[62][67][68] It was made into animage macro with grumpy captions.

This unnamed cat was featured in the first place-winning video "Cat's Got a Tongue"[89] from Season 10, Episode 20 ofAmerica's Funniest Home Videos. In the video, the cat makes aggressive noises at another.[90] The noises sound like human words and phrases such as "Oh my dog", "Oh Long John", "Oh Long Johnson", "Oh Don piano", "Why I eyes ya", "All the live long day", and "Oh that long long Johnson".

The photographs were put on display at the Snapshot Store, a photography store in New York City, as advertisements.[98] Both photographs are now in the collection of the Library of Congress. Initially, only one of the photographs was available online (showing Brünnhilde from the side), and the Library of Congress described it as "one of [their] most beloved free-to-use photos". In January 2023, the Library of Congress digitized the second photograph (which shows Brünnhilde from the front) and released it onTwitter, at which point it became viral.[99] TheAssociated Press noted that the photographs of Brünnhilde were similar to many modern comedic cat photographs, saying that "at least one aspect of photography hasn't changed much in 150 years".[100]

Keyboard Cat is anotherInternet phenomenon. It consists of a video from 1984 of Fatso, a cat wearing a blue shirt and appearing to play an upbeat rhythm on anelectronic keyboard. The video was posted toYouTube under the title "charlie schmidt's cool cats" in June 2007. Schmidt later changed the title to "Charlie Schmidt's Keyboard Cat (The Original)".[108]
Fatso (who died in 1987)[109] was owned (and manipulated in the video) by Charlie Schmidt ofSpokane, Washington, US, and the blue shirt still belonged to Schmidt's cat Fatso. Later, Brad O'Farrell, who was the syndication manager of the video websiteMy Damn Channel, obtained Schmidt's permission to reuse the footage, appending it to the end of ablooper video to "play" that person offstage after the mistake or gaffe in a similar manner as getting the hook in the days ofvaudeville.[110] The appending of Schmidt's video to other blooper and otherviral videos became popular, with such videos usually accompanied with the titlePlay Him Off, Keyboard Cat or a variant. "Keyboard Cat" was ranked No. 2 onCurrent TV's list of 50 Greatest Viral Videos.[111]

It received as many as 1,500,000 hits per day at its peak in May 2007.[122][123] ICHC was instrumental in bringing animal-basedimage macros andlolspeak into mainstream usage and makingInternet memes profitable.[124]
In 2015, the atmosphere among the community of Brussels, Belgium was tense when the citywas put under the highest level state of emergency immediately following theParis attacks; however, Internet cats were able to cut the tension by taking over the Twitter feed #BrusselsLockdown.[125] The feed was designed to discuss operational details of terrorist raids, but when police asked for a social media blackout the hashtag was overwhelmed by Internet users posting pictures of cats to drown out serious discussion and prevent terrorists from gaining any useful information.[126] The use of cat images is a reference to the Level 4 state of emergency: the French word for the number 4,quatre, is pronounced similarly to the word "cat" in English.[127][128]

Catloaf (also spelled as cat loaf/cat-loaf and sometimes known as hovercat,[138] tugboat or loafing[139]) is a term used to describe a cat's sitting position in which its paws and tail are tucked under the body, forming aloaf-like shape. A speculation for the sitting position indicates that the cat is relaxed and feels unthreatened, and therefore has no need to sit in a position where it would have to attack. Another potential reason for this sitting position is for the cat to maintain a comfortable body temperature without having to move.[140]
American cartoonistB. Kliban had noted the similarity between the shapes of cats andmeatloaves as early as 1975.[141] However, widespread popularity of the word had not gained peak popularity until the 2010s on social media sites such as Reddit and Twitter, as well as Facebook, where the sitting position is also known as "tugboat" in the "Tuggin'"group.[142][139]

The cat distribution system, as it is known on the internet, is the ad-hoc, passive manner in which owners obtain their cats, and not necessarily on the initiative of the owner. Very often a friendly stray will simply move onto the owner's premises. Whereas people actively and carefully select the breed and individual dog that they want, often paying a sum of money, planning and volition are often absent in the process of acquiring a cat. The term "cat distribution system" came into common use on the internet in 2022 when TikTok user hermes.the.cynic described the process in which cats select their owners.[149][150]
Bonsai Kitten was asatirical website launched in 2000 that claims to provide instructions on how to grow a kitten in a jar, so as to mold the bones of the kitten into the shape of the jar as the cat grows, much like how abonsai plant is shaped. It was made by anMIT university student going by thealias of Dr. Michael Wong Chang.[151] The website generated furor after members of thepublic complained toanimal rights organizations, who stated that "while the site's content may be faked, the issue it is campaigning for may createviolence towards animals", according to the Michigan Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (MSPCA). Although the website in its most recent form was shut down, it still generates (primarily spam)petitions to shut the site down or complain to itsISP. The website has been thoroughly debunked bySnopes.com andThe Humane Society of the United States, among other prominent organizations.
