The Best of "Bongo Cat"

When Twitter user StrayRogue tweeted a GIF of a cat slapping a table, little did they know the scope of the beautiful meme horizon they'd just birthed. After Twitter user DitzyFlama posted a video of the cat playing bongos along with some Super Mario music, the meme game was afoot, so to speak. Three months later, Bongo Cat has played along with dozens of songs in videos of increasingly elaborate quality, putting the meme on par with Trumpet Boy and perhaps even Steamed Hams. Here are some of our favorites from the Bongo Cat craze of September.
