The Golden Age Of The Internet: 40+ Comical Cat Posts From Tumblr For A Meow-y Funny Walk Down Memory Lane

Ah, Tumblr, how we miss you! This was part of the golden age of the internet when people weren't as easily offended and the internet was savage. Cat comedy was at its highest and hilarious cat memes were popping up left and right! Don't get us wrong, we love the internet now, but we do miss those golden years when everything was funny. Tumblr was the place to be, right after Myspace.

All of these vintage posts remind us of a time when our eyes were brighter and our waist was slimmer, probably from laughing at all of the funny cat posts that came across our path. It's like taking a walk down memory lane, where we can also say hi to Green Day albums, ripped jeans, and overwhelmingly strong Abercrombie & Fitch cologne. On second thought, maybe it's best that some things stay in the past.

Now we finally understand why there are cat emojis! Cats are quite expressive, so it only makes sense that they would get their own emojis. Now we love them even more, and we'll only think of cats when we see the. Infinitely more cute!

Faceplanting cats are literally too cute. They look like little potatoes that just said, "That's enough social interaction for today. We'll be turning off now, see you in a few hours." Oh, how we wish we could do that, too, during the day.
