It is a question that has been asked time and again by scholars over the years: why is it that cats rule the internet? Some have suggested that it is all down to the types of personalities that tend to spend a lot of time online, and others have reckoned that it is just down to pure chance, plus a couple of memes that managed to make even the most hardened cat hater chuckle.

Here at Memebase, we like to keep the theories simple: the fact is that cats are very funny and so are the people that love them. That is as good an excuse as any to keep the longstanding cat meme industrial complex going, because we will always be in need of a little lighthearted feline entertainment to brighten up our lives. Without further ado, scroll on and enjoy the ridiculousness that cats have brought us this week.
