"The 15 Best Cat Memes Ever\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1. Nyan Cat\n\nThe most acclaimed web cat is Nyan Cat, an 8-bit animated feline, who won Meme of the Year at the Webby Awards in May. \nThe Pop Tart-shaped viral sensation stormed onto the Internet in April 2011 when illustrator Chris Torres introduced Nyan Cat to the masses via YouTube.\nSince then, Nyan Cat's fame has spawned a frequently updated website, video games, a soundtrack and many cute accessories. \n\"Nyan Cat has transformed into this viral entity that has surpassed not only everything I originally expected for my art but for memes in general,\" Torres recently told Mashable. \"It\u2019s gained its own amazing subculture with incredibly creative fans.\"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2. Keyboard Cat\n\nOrange tabby cat Fatso (a.k.a. Keyboard Cat) most recently appeared in a parody of U.S. President Barack Obama's Google+ Hangout in February 2012.\nKeyboard Cat's origins, however, date back to 1984, and its popularity rose in 2007 after a clip was uploaded to YouTube. That video now has 25 million views. Keyboard Cat tends to make appearances in  spoofs and even in commercials.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3.
