I feel a bit guilty about this. Because I know I should be the one providing the bloggy entertainment.
But the LOL cats are soooo majorly cute and sometimes incredibly clever and laugh-out-loud funny, that I’m going to forgive myself and do it anyway. So here we go..drum roll…
The LOL Cats!!!
Presented here on Under and Over for your delectation - and to make you giggle.
DD just adores the LOLcats. In fact, she was the one who showed me these pics du jour, meanwhile snickering her head off the whole time.
It’s most peculiar. I’m such a pedant about words and I simply can’t bear cutesy, fluffy things - things that are twee. And yet, the LOLcats are all about being cutsie-pie - not to mention mangling the English language beyond recognition. Normally, I hate that!
Why do I enjoy them so much? I can’t quite work it out. The spelling/grammar abominations even seem to add to the whimsical appeal, provided I don’t have to puzzle too long to get the joke. I don’t even mind the sugar hit, well, not too much.
There are lots more LOLcats on the website.
I’m more a cat person than a dog person, though I do like dogs very much. On reflection, I think I like the LOLcats because each photo shows love and understanding about cats, in all their infuriating, endearing feline-ness. Then there’s the sheer wit of some of the captions, like the dunecat one above. It’s only really funny (or even understandable) if you’ve read Frank Herbert’s classic fantasy/SF novel, Dune.
Did the LOLcats humour make you smile?

I love these cats! As the owner of three cats I get a pure kick out of seeing pictures like this. I even have an app on my MySpace for the LOLcats because they are too cute and funny.
One of my favourites:

I have a niece who loves these, so I usually send her any new links I find, though sometimes she’s found the links first.
I love them so much I get their emails daily… and look forward to LOL! The I Has A Hotdog one is also just as funny, but being a cat person, the pusses really get me.
Dani, I love all kinds of cats, from moggies to aristocats. Not too keen on the hairless ones, though…
Oh Zen, that is so mega-cute, it’s almost unbearable. Is it in a Barbie house? Sure looks like it!
Meg, DD checks five LOL sites daily - there’s a doggy one too, and one for celebs. I must not, I must not… Repeat after me…
Don’t forget FailBlog!
I agree, Jen. I like the LOLcats because I can absolutely imagine a cat thinking these things. Like the one in the blog post who thinks he’s living with morons. How often have we seen that particular expression? Our puss turns it on the dog at least half a dozen times a day.
And your barn cats are lucky creatures to experience your kindness. Hope they appreciate you!
What’s Failblog, Zen? I think DD mentioned it in passing…
Malvina, I just caved in like the weak-willed woman I am and subscribed. So far, I’ve had a lovely giggle every morning at work. Really cheered me up.
Good ol’ failblog.org/ forms the basis of the DD/Zen vocabulary; i.e. only three words are *really* needed: fail, win and lol.
Oh, and with regard to LOLcats’ garbled grammar: http://icanhascheezburger.com/2008/11/01/funny-pictures-cheeseburger-jerkswhile-i-enjoy-your-enchanting-photos-of-attractive/
Oh Zen, I love, love, LOVE it!

Ah, that is so totally meeee, you know? Thanks, my dear.
Denise I just howled with the Dune inspired one.
<—— Dune & Herbet Fan from waaaay back.
Of course I laughed with them all because, well they’re cats and the captions are done so well. Thanks for sharing.
Hi there, Pamela. Oh yeah - snap! on Herbert’s Dune. Lord, that was brilliant, stunning. Shame though, I couldn’t really get into the sequels. *sigh* But the “dunecat”? Wotta hoot!
