The Year in Static: Melody’s Favourite Cat Memes of 2011

Those who know me know that I love cats. If I could kidnap every cat in the world, I would. (Please don’t call the cops on me, it was just a hypothetical statement!) But since I can’t cuddle with 80 cats in my bed – I actually don’t own any cats – the internet has been kind enough to treat us to some friggin’ adorable cat memes. When I tell people I’m “working on an assignment,” I’m really just drooling over these cute, furry memes of awesomeness. Here’s a recap of some of the finest feline memes of the 2011!

1. The Kitten Covers

I’m glad I’m not the only one who stares at album covers and thinks, “Man, what would that look like with cats on it?” Dear bands, in the future, save us all this work and just put cats on all your album covers. Please and thank you. Okay, dogs too if you want. But that’s it!


2. Ryan Gosling Disneyland Cats

The internet put two of our favourite things together this year in the most magical meme ever (I don’t count Disneyland as a fave because I know crazy-evil people who hate it). Sure, going to Disneyland is fun and all but going with the (unoffcial) Sexiest Man Alive and a bunch of cats? Get out of my brain, internet.

3. The eHarmony Cat Lover

Watching this video is like watching myself. “I want them in a basket and with little bow ties. I want them to be on a rainbow and in my bed. And I just want a house full of them and I just want us to roll around.” ME TOO, DEBBIE. ME TOO. If I was single and a lesbian, Debbie and I would be married in a house full of cats by now.

4. Business Cat

When I finally finish school and get a real job, my co-workers better be cats. Business cats.

5. Nyan Cat

Only on the internet can a three and a half minute video of an animated flying cat be the most captivating thing ever. Some people might find this annoying but I find it adorable. Also worth checking out: MEXICAN NYAN CAT. IT’S A TACO.
