Feline Humor
Though gently humorous images of cats had previously been popular—notably the "Hang in There, Baby" posters that adorned children's bedroom walls in the 1980s—sharper-edged feline humor became popular in the mid and late 2000s. Notable sites include the following.- MyCatHatesYou.com: Founded in 2001 by Microsoft programmer Jim Edgar, the site features sinister-looking cats. Edgar went on to publish a photo book with the same theme, 2004's bestselling Bad Cat: 244 Not-So-Pretty Kitties And Cats Gone Bad.
- Hitler Cats: This photoblog features "Kitlers," non-photoshopped images of cats whose color patterns are reminiscent of Adolf Hitler—particularly the bangs and mustache. A similar image was used in early 2008 for an anti-fascist campaign by Germany's Green Party.Haaretz: Germany's Green Party uses cat resembling Hitler to slam far-rightists
- I Can Has Cheezburger?: This popular photoblog, begun in January 2007 by Eric Nakagawa, receives hundreds of thousands of page views per day.AdBrite: Advertise on I CAN HAS CHEEZBURGER? The site is credited with the Lolcats (laugh-out-loud cats) phenomenon. The first image posted on the site was that of a stout, bright-eyed gray cat named Happycat, with the caption, "I CAN HAS CHEEZBURGER?"

- World Famous Random Kitten Generator: As its name suggests, this site randomly displays endearing images of kittens at the click of a button.
