- A representation of my cat, Captain Jack, trapped in his litter box. Yes that happened.
Inspired by my post, Slog commenter Joe Szilagyi “looked up the history of internet cats and compiled it, since no one with an ounce of sanity ever bothered to before.”
Please learn and enjoy the history of teh kittehs on teh interwebs, and thank you for your reporting, Joe!

Clearly, Joe has way too much time on his hands.
That is a fantastic picture.
I hope you slip some food and water in there sometimes.
Wonderful.
But there really should be some mention of keyboard cat and his seminal roll in popularizing the whole “fail” meme.
Joe, I tip my hat to you good sir. Making me remember the days of bonsai cats has thoroughly brightened my Friday.
Just spent the last hour booking flights to Charlotte, NC (for the upcoming NRA convention), Atlanta (for the Blade show – the biggest knife show in the world), and Boston (to visit my 84-year-old mother).
I’d say, in retrospect, Joe’s time was better spent.
@4 I thought about mentioning Fatso but he’s already in Joel’s video at the end. That stupid post could have been 1,000 times longer if I didn’t stick to just the Big Stuff.
@6 I was about to answer but my cat remotely activated the electrical collar I wear. Sorry.
/hats off to Mary for obliterating my monthly bandwidth allocation in the name of science.
Or not, turns out I have way more BW than I thought…!
I smell an Stranger Genius Award in the offing….
I just want to go on record as saying that keyboard cat hails from Spokane. REPRESENT!
That is all.
I LOL’d.
Not only did keyboard cat hail from Spokane but I know his owner’s name: Charlie Schmidt!
