Cats have ruled the internet for so long that even some cat memes have become standalone memes.

That's the result of a years-long reign with an iron paw - cats rule the internet, and there's no denying it. Cats appear everywhere from the classic "cute cat video" genre of Millennial brainrot, all the way to the most wholesome cat adoption stories that could leave a cat-hater in tears of joy, through specific cat memes that are internet pillars of humor - like Grumpy Cat. Who doesn't love Grumpy Cat?

As we're very proud to exist in the online cattosphere, as I Can Has Cheezburger is a cat meme all in its own right, we thought to bring you here what we think are the modern-day cat meme classics. These memes are going to be what the "cute cat video" was on the 00s internet. The staples of current cat humor online that every cat lover, or otherwise, should know.
