Slate has a slide-show article about the phenomenon of cat-macros on the internet.
Can the apocalypse be far off??
Excerpt:
No one knows who put the first cat picture on the Internet, but they have since become an unstoppable, mutating force. The photo site Flickr is awash with cat clusters, the Random Kitten Generator finds daily converts, YouTube has an international trade in cat videos, and those are just the obvious examples.
When I worked at a Web magazine in the mid-90s, we used to joke that more people uploaded pictures of their cats to their home pages than read our articles. That joke became less funny when it turned out to be true.
