Oh hai, fwend! Do u remember da times when evry1 on da internetz talked like dis? When nearly every meme wuz like dis? It was such a cutesy time for cat memes, a simpler time, one that we often wish we could go back to. Luckily for you, that's our job! We collected a big compilation of vintage cat memes featuring some of our favorites - Lolcats, I Can Has Cheezburger?, and many more.

These memes will make you chuckle, and maybe hear the faint, ghostly noise of your AOL dial-up modem somewhere off in the distance. It might also make you want a cheeseburger, but that's our constant state of being, so we can never tell if it's the cat memes, or if we're just hungry. Anyway, we hope these hilarious cat memes bring back some nostalgia and good vibes for you this Thursday. It's almost Friday, you can do it!

If you can't do it, just look at some more funny animal memes. It always helps us!
