The Lolcat meme is has been exploding lately. Lolcats or cat macros are those weird photos of cats (sometimes other creatures) doing strange things and using bad grammar. Recently they have been popularized via creative Twitter error messages.
I Can Has Cheezeburger? is becoming a massive clearinghouse for Lolcats and there is now even an online Lolcat Builder where you can make your own Lolcat images.
Anil Dash recently wrote a great post about the whole Lolcat phenomenon.
Of course, I couldn’t resist playing along and created my own Lolcat image staring the one and only Ika Zaru. Have you made a Lolcat? Please share in the comments.
UPDATE: Well I’m legit now, I Can Has Cheezeburger? has officially cataloged and tagged my Ika Zaru Lolcat.

You know a meme has arrived when it spawns a parody. fakecat is fake.
