15 Most Famous Internet Cats

Advertisements

Do you like cats? Of course you do, otherwise you wouldn’t be here! You probably have one or more fluffy bastards at home and you’ve taken thousands of pics and videos, hoping that one day your Tabby will do something weird and make you famous on the internet. Yeah, you and me both. Some people do, however, manage to monetize their cats’ seemingly worthless skills or genetic conditions, making thousands if not millions of dollars each year. We’re slowly turning into ancient Egyptians with our cat worshipping and I have absolutely no problem with that. Just for the sake of argument, I’ll get you “the most popular dogs on the internet”, so stay tuned. But for now enjoy the floofs!

Keyboard Cat

Let’s start with a classic example: here’s Fatso “playing” a catchy tune on a piano. Nothing unusual, you say? This viral is a footage from 1984, a time when the dinosaurs watched Seinfeld, before the internet or even YouTube or Netflix! It took Charlie Schmidt 23 years to realize he’s sitting on a goldmine. 2 years later, in 2009, his “Cool Cat” video became a full-fledged meme and has been since featured in thousands of videos.


Nyan Cat


Also known as Pop Tart Cat, this adorable 8-bit depiction of a kitty-pop-tart hybrid flying through outer space became popular because of… uh, I have no idea why, to be honest, but this damn song is so catchy and annoying at the same time! Needless to say, it was an instant hit on YouTube and has spawned thousands of knock-offs, tributes and even a few mobile games.

Honey Bee

Because of her condition, Honey Bee doesn’t seem to be afraid of anything, making her a perfect hiking companion, in case a bear attacks her owner. She’s like Daredevil of cats – the cat without fear. Also, she’s adorable as all hell.

One of, if not the biggest names on this list, and one of the better known feline celebrities, Grumpy Cat has over 7 million Facebook fans, is featured on all sorts of merchandise and pretty much earns more in 1 day than I make in a year. Good on her, though, she’s awesome!

One of the best-looking cats I’ve ever seen. And, trust me when I say this, I’ve seen a crap ton of them. Sam with his fantastic “eyebrows” and over 150k Insta followers takes the cake. Just look at that innocent face. Look at it!

Maru must be one of the funniest weirdoes out there. He’s all about those boxes. Any boxes, even the tiniest ones. If he fits – he most definitely sits. He now has a companion kitty, who’s also slowly gaining popularity, but she’ll never beat the Boxmaster Maru.

Monty

Monty 1

PIC BY MICHAEL BJORN NIELSEN / CATERS NEWS - (PICTURED Adorable cat, Monty) These heartwarming images of a cat born without a nasal bridge prove that looking different can still be adorable. Pictured peering curiously into the camera, the unique feline was born with its nasal bone missing, giving it a somewhat unusual appearance. Caused by a chromosome defect, the genetic abnormality meant that house cat, Monty, also suffers from some mild bladder problems. But despite looking a little different to your average tabby, Monty has still managed to melt hearts the world over. SEE CATERS COPY

He was a tiny little floof when a recovering drug addict James Bowen found him on the street. Since that time both of them are inseparable.

Shironeko 6Up to this point the kitties were listed in no particular order, but I had to make the #1 special. Shironeko (literally means “white cat”) is my spirit animal. He’s famous for not giving a damn about pretty much anything and he seems to always be sleeping. Truly, the most relatable of all the internet cats.
