Good meowrning, feline fam. On Sundays, we like to detox from our week of social media consumption by revisiting the classics, those OG cat memes that still hit to this very day. Kids on Tiktok these days will never understand. The days of Myspace playlists and early Ebaumsworld with those silly handmade videos that were practically made on Microsoft Paint. Sure, there are thousands, maybe even hundreds of thousands, cat memes available on the internet these days, but none make us meow with millennial nostalgia like the classic cat memes you'll see below.

The days when Tumblr was hissterical, when Youtube didn't have ads every five seconds, and Lolcats speak was the language of the internet. We feel it's our duty, nay, our honor, to keep the history of these memes alive. Someone has to teach the children, don't they? Whether you're seeing these nostalgic feline funnies for the first time, or they bring you back to the early 2000s with all the comfort of post-Y2K bliss, we hope you enjoy them. If this is your first time seeing them, keep scrolling through our site and educate yourself!

Well, what a happy coincidence! What are the odds of finding a kitten-sized chair and a kitten to go with it? Why don't we ever get this kind of luck? We did find $5 in our pocket the other day….and that was pretty great. But we would much rather find this instead!

This is the kind of internet humor we know and love. It's the purrfect level of satire, stupid, chonk, and of course, the usual disdain from the feline members of our family that we can't live without. That is a mighty fine sploot, though. And she is beautiful. We can't tell you exactly why it's so funny, but it is. At least if you're an elder millennial, it is. The young kids these days might not get it.
