The early days of the internet were the golden era of cat comedy, and with this list we dive into our divine digital past.

Who remembers the good old days of coming home from school, throwing our backpacks to the side with reckless abandon so that we can run as fast as we can to turn on our computers. An action that was followed by several minutes of patient waiting while our machines turned on and we finally gained access to our favorite sites. For many of us that meant logging into MySpace, letting our profile song blast at full volume while we carefully looked over our Top Friends list.

But no visit to that magical site was complete without a little dose of feline funnies and that is what we have lined up for you today. A nostalgic deep dive into the weird and wonderful world of early 2000s cat culture for your cat loving eyes. So prepaw yourself to be immersed in the imaginative images we used to so thoroughly enjoy in our mid to late youth.
