About

The cat is a small, usually furry, domesticated, carnivorous mammal that is valued by humans for its companionship and for its ability to hunt vermin and household pests. It is currently the most popular pet in the world.[1] Images and videos of cats are widespread on the Internet, including Tumblr [2], DeviantArt [3], Reddit [4] and many other places on the internet. The New York Times [5] and Thought Catalog [6] have reported on the cats' fame on the internet.

Online History

Pictures of cats have been shared online as early as since the days of Usenet through newsgroups like rec.pets.cats[20], which offered a variety of answers to general questions people have about raising cats. The group's FAQs were originally written in 1992 and released online in four parts over the span of nearly three years. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, the introduction of personal blogging and consumer-grade digital cameras charted a new era of animal photo blogs across the world, particularly in Japan where cats are generally considered the most favored pet animal. Daily photo and video journals of domesticated cats soon became a staple genre of blogging on the Japanese web,[19] compounded by the advents of leaderboard-style blog ranking sites, as well as technological innovations in digital cameras and video recorders.

In the English-speaking online communities, pictures of cats became a recurring topic[26] on memetic hubs like the B3TA Forum, Metafilter, General Mayhem, Something Awful, 4chan and FARK, just to name a few. Pictures of cats were also spread through chain e-mail networks, the most notable pre-LOLcat example being "Everytime you masturbate, God kills a kitten" (shown below, right). Some of the early adopters in the blog world include MyCatHatesYou,[27] a single topic blog dedicated to cat photos since 2000, Rathergood,[28] an internet culture site launched by B3ta forum member Joel Veitch in 2000, and the Infinite Cat Project,[29] a blog that curates pictures of cats looking at another cat, that began in 2004.

LOLCats

However, the online popularity of cat-related media took a leap forward beginning in 2006 with the growing influence of LOLcats and Caturday on Something Awful and 4chan as well as the launch of YouTube, which essentially paved the way for the ubiquitous, multimedia presence of cats. The LOLcat phenomenon is thought to have entered the mainstream of the Internet sometime after the launch of I Can Has Cheezburger in early 2007.

As of 2012, cats continue to remain culturally influential and relevant on some of the largest media-sharing communities and publishing networks on the web such as YouTube, Tumblr, Reddit and Cheezburger. The increasing presence of cat-related media on YouTube and elsewhere on the web have been noted by various news publications: Salon's article "The Internet is Made of Cats"[21] and TIME Magazine's article "A Day Without Cats on the Internet"[22] in 2009, Mashable's article "Why does the web love cats?"[24] and BBC's article "Cute cats, memes and understanding the internet"[23] in 2012, among many others. In addition, numerous academic research projects have been initiated around the peculiar subject.



Caturday

Caturday is the tradition of posting LOLcats to 4chan on Saturdays. It has since spread to other websites as well as other days of the week. Caturday originated on 4chan in the mid-2000s. Urban Dictionary’s earliest definition was added on October 24th, 2006.

Bit.ly Analysis on Share Statistics

On November 23rd, 2011, URL bookmarking service Bitly conducted a data analysis[25] of its internal search engine to measure the sharability of animal-related media by species. The analysts counted and compared the number of relevant page results containing the names of several different animals, which revealed that the majority of cute animals sharing in the sample pool was associated with dogs rather than cats.

Google & Standford Research

On June 12th, 2012, a group of Google researcher led by the Stanford University computer scientist Andrew Ng and the Google fellow Jeff Dean published the findings of its years-long study on the simulation of the human brain in a paper titled "Building High-level Features Using Large Scale Unsupervised Learning."[17] At the heart of the research project is an artificial neural network created by connecting 16,000 processors with more than one billion connections, which was then put to exposure of thumbnails extracted from at least 10 million YouTube videos.

Affirming the popular myth that "YouTube is made of cat videos," the study revealed that Google's neural network model was able to teach itself to recognize cats--along with human faces and bodies--far better than others in a list of 20,000 distinct items or objects. The research findings were picked up by numerous news sites and tech blogs, beginning with the New York Times' article "How Many Computers to Identify a Cat? 16,000"[18] published on June 26th, 2012.

Internet Cat Video Film Festival

In late May 2012, blogger Katie Czarniecki announced that she will be hosting a film festival[30] dedicated to online videos of cats at the Walker Art Center, a reputable modern museum art located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The announcement of the event gained the attention of news outlets on both local and national levels, including BBC[31], CBS, ABC, Salt Lake Tribunte, Huffington Post and Philadelphia Daily News. Dubbed "The Internet Cat Video Festival," the outdoor screening event is scheduled to take place from 8:30pm to 9:30pm (ET) of August 30th, 2012, which will feature 70 videos of cats spanning over an hour in length in various categories like comedy, documentary, animated and foreign, among others.

According to the description on the website, organizers of the festival carefully made their picks from nearly 10,000 videos that were submitted following the announcement in May. After the screening, Walker Art Center is expected to announce the winner of "People's Choice" award out of candidates ranging from Maru, NONONONO Cat, Kitten Hugging Mom Cat and Henri to Dubstep Cat, Nyan Cat and the Talking Cats. In addition to cat lovers, cats are also welcome to attend the festival as long as they're leashed.

      Why were you even thinking about saying "deadpool" to begin with? Seriously though, with the enormous presence of cats on the internet, if they were considered "deadpool" this website would be a joke because they're arguably the biggest collection of memes on the internet.

    VERY generic and vague. It'd be like making an "internet" or a "Human" submission.

    Given, cat's are an integral staple of the internet and it's culture, but only with specific cats, like Nyan cat, LOLcats, hipster kitty and etc. Cats in general aren't as memetic as those examples. But maybe that's just my opinion.

    Cats have breeds as well.. The difference is they at least represent their ancestors. The dog breeds available now are not only completely different to the wolves they originated from, but some have server health problems due to their breeding.

    That’s why Crufts has been pushed to some crappy channel now because Pedigree and Co won’t support them due to the poor health many of the dogs are in.

    You also don’t see “Baby mauled to death by cat” on TV/News….. So on, so forth…. Some people like dogs, some like cats, some are in different… Don’t hate cats for being a creature, don’t hate people for liking cats.

    Wait, most popular pet in the world? Can that be right? They’d have REALLY tough competition with dogs, wouldn’t they? I mean, honestly, I’m not even sure that’s something one can even begin to answer with certainty…

    If we’re talking about “on the internet”, then yeah cats win. I think this is because cats have less body expression, but more facial expression than dogs do, which generally makes them more humorous so they get uploaded more often.

    But can we really accurately measure offline popularity as well? I mean, obviously it’s either cats or dogs, but it’s gotta be really, really close…

    Why were you even thinking about saying "deadpool" to begin with? Seriously though, with the enormous presence of cats on the internet, if they were considered "deadpool" this website would be a joke because they're arguably the biggest collection of memes on the internet.

    Why is it that for every animal video there are always such a large group of people commenting on how they wan to kill the owner for somehow "abusing" their pets?

    Felis catus is your taxonomic nomenclature,
    An endothermic quadruped, carnivorous by nature;
    Your visual, olfactory, and auditory senses
    Contribute to your hunting skills and natural defenses.

    I find myself intrigued by your subvocal oscillations,
    A singular development of cat communications
    That obviates your basic hedonistic predilection
    For a rhythmic stroking of your fur to demonstrate affection.

    A tail is quite essential for your acrobatic talents;
    You would not be so agile if you lacked its counterbalance.
    And when not being utilized to aid in locomotion,
    It often serves to illustrate the state of your emotion.
