I had several sentences in the post about Caturday images being traced back to 2005/2006, but cut them because of relevance. The origins of this meme is well documented else where and I didn't feel it was really necessary to go into much depth on the meme's history. This post was mostly concerned about when lolcats grew in popularity and reached a larger audience much like some of the memes I listed. I doubt the guys in the diet coke and mentos video were the first to ever do so, but that video nevertheless kicked off the phenomenon. But you didn't answer the question I posed in the post, do you like lolcats or think they are dumb? Would be nice if you can at least do that before you jump to criticize the validity of my post.

What about the old "Caturday" posts? They were around long before icanhascheezburger. So you’re saying icanhascheezburger kicked off the lolcat phenomenon?
