  Ceiling cat peed on our ancestors, hence the Toxoplasma Gondi infections.

  So do this mean that Tardar Sauce is the newest species in the memetic evolution of cats? – cause that cat looks pretty different. http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/tarder-sauce

  I’m disappointed that it didn’t also discuss the selective pressures that led to the Lolrus (i.e., theft of buckets).

  • [Leshka]

     But you see, that is an entirely new subject. You want the lecture of Lolrus 101 (or to be more precise, lol).

  On a slightly more serious note, what about all the cat memes from ancient Egypt? Or for that matter the cat memes of the 1800s? There are photos of very unhappy cats dressed in Victorian garb taken in the late 1800s,and they seem to have been quite popular at the time.

  I just noticed. Krazy Kat, with his simple needs and misspelled dialect, shows some resemblance to the modern LOL-Cat. http://webcomicoverlook.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/kk1.png

  I thought his comics about Justice Scalia were a riot, but this . . . this is genius.
