Let's take a trip down meowmery lane, shall we?

In the mid-2000s, I Can Has Cheezburger was born. Who knew that an egregious amount of "Zs" in words they don't belong in and a photo of a hungry cat with bottom text would bring us to where we are today? Now, I Can Has Cheezburger is a foundational pillar of cat comedy nearly 20 years later, and we owe it all to the cat pawrents who can't go a day without browsing some pawdorable cat memes to cure their Meownday blues.

A kitty in retirement like Milla truly does get whatever they want in moderation (except chocolate and the like, of course). Purrviding our senior cats with the most fulfilling, cozy life possible is bittersweet—but let's focus on the most pleasant, sugary parts! Milla has 20 years under her belt and the gritty paws to prove it! A cheeseburger every so often isn't just deserved, but necessary—cats must has cheezburger at least once in their lives.

We're honored to take part in the internet scrapbook of pawrent's meowmeries, but we couldn't have done it without every single cat-loving internet user who has been and still is touched by the kitty content we know and love. Here's to countless years of captivating cat memes that put a pep in your step and make you cherish your feline family meowbers just a little bit more!
