Monorail Cat

Origin

One of the earliest pictures of monorail cat found is from the website catmas.com’s blog section, dated from November 2, 2006. The picture is of a cat flopped over a metal-framed mirror, which makes the cat look like a monorail.

The cat’s legs are not visible in the picture. The original monorail cat picture was brought to ICanHasCheezburger on January 12, 2007. Since then, it has been a staple lolcat on ICHC. Many pictures are submitted to the site having to do with a monorail cat or dog. Now it is one of the most famous lolcats around.

The original picture of the cat is most certainly not the only picture of a “monorail cat”.

Monorail cat got a shirt as well. If you type “monorail cat” into the game Scribblenauts, you will get a “weird hidden object.”
