Taz, 8 years old from Huntington Beach California. He has lived in Canada for 6 years now and doesn't care for snow and cold. He misses surfing and golfing and the good life in the OC.

^That looks like fun! For the cat.

If you don't have mice around you'll have to go for the Christmas tree instead. Not at all as yummy...

I met this cat walking around downtown Mobile. We watched each other for a while.

Behold, dear forumers: the oldest known lolcat in existence!

This captioned cat picture postcard was found by Tracy Angulo in a Seattle antique store. Tracy tells us that the photograph is from 1905, which would make this officially the oldest cat picture with a caption, AKA lolcat, that we’ve seen.

The differences are clear. Proper grammar and a more formal tone was in vogue back then. But the similarities to modern-day kitten struggles and lolcats are amazing. ALL CAPS is still cool, but most importantly, she also no can has cheezburger. More than a hundred years later, all that’s changed is the spelling.
