20 Purrfectly Classic Cat Memes That Made Us Laugh Before Tiktok Took Over

Good meowrning, feline fam. On Sundays, we like to detox from our week of social media consumption by revisiting the classics, those OG cat memes that still hit to this very day. Kids on Tiktok these days will never understand. The days of Myspace playlists and early Ebaumsworld with those silly handmade videos that were practically made on Microsoft Paint. Sure, there are thousands, maybe even hundreds of thousands, cat memes available on the internet these days, but none make us meow with millennial nostalgia like the classic cat memes you’ll see below.

The days when Tumblr was hissterical, when Youtube didn’t have ads every five seconds, and Lolcats speak was the language of the internet. We feel it’s our duty, nay, our honor, to keep the history of these memes alive. Someone has to teach the children, don’t they? Whether you’re seeing these nostalgic feline funnies for the first time, or they bring you back to the early 2000s with all the comfort of post-Y2K bliss, we hope you enjoy them. If this is your first time seeing them, keep scrolling through our site and educate yourself!
