This one photo put Pallas' cats at the front and center of the internet once it dropped. Nobody knew what Pallas' cats were before this (we're sure some people did, but now, almost every cat purrson knows and adores them). We then learned that they adorably stand on their tails in the snow to keep their little feetsies warm, and that sealed the deal in the hearts of cat lovers. Overnight, we all secretly asked Santa to bring us one for Christmas.

Many of these pictures turned into meowconic cat memes later. What you're looking at here is purrre internet history, fam. We don't know many of their names, but we will remember their cute, furry faces for our whole lives. They made our childhoods hissterical and these kitties helped make us into the meme-loving feline fanatics we are today.

A Meowmorable Feline Flashback: 30+ Nostalgic Noodle-Brained Cat Pics That Aged Like Purremium Catnip
The 2000s were the golden age of cat comedy. Some people call it nostalgic, but it's not nostalgic if you never left.
Back when the internet was still young, the world was a better place. People were too busy changing the layouts and playlists for their MySpace profiles and uploading silly, slightly blurry pictures of their cats to worry about anything else. Before the first ever cat memes were born, there were these meowmentous and meowmorable cat pics. It's these very pictures that built the foundation for 'I Can Has Cheezburger' and our whole life because of it.
Back in those good old days, we used to call our cats "derpy". For those of you who are new here, "derpy" means silly but in an authentic way. It's harmless, awkward cuteness that's unapologetically goofy in an endearing way. Derpy cat pics may no longer be "in style", but they will always hold a special place in our feline-shaped hearts. Which is why, on this purrfectly auspicious Meownday, we've collected a feline flashback for you in the form of some nostalgic, noodle-brained cat pics that aged like a purremium cat nip.
To this day, these pictures still make us laugh without fail. They're pawsitively absurd, purrfectly imperfect, and pretty much cover the whole cat experience. They show their silly side, their cute side, and most impurrtantly, their derpy side. Cats on the internet nowadays are too pretty. We want to bring back the authenticity of what having a cat is really like, and it all starts with acknowledging that our cats are actually giant floofball goofballs.
If you don't believe us after this silly series of pictures below, then you'll have to keep scrolling through more hissterical feline funnies and cute cats until you become a believer!
