"And the Internet implodes in 3, 2, 1 ... \nA Kickstarter project is raising funds for a cat-themed calendar, appropriately named the \"World's Most Super Amazing 100% Awesome Cat Calendar.\" \nAs expected, the feline-fanaticizing folks of the web have responded in full force. Less than a week after launching, the project has surpassed its goal of $3,500, with 43 days still left to donate. \nKate Funk, the project's co-creator and lead photographer, said the response was completely unexpected. \"I'm really overwhelmed. The fact that everyone has been this supportive so far has been awesome,\" she told Mashable.  \nThe upcoming calendar will be Funk's sixth. Over the past half-decade, she's created the calendars \u2014 along with her cat, AC, and graphic designer Brennan Groh \u2014 for small distribution. But after demands increased over the years, she and Groh decided to shoot for bigger delivery. \nNow, the pair is hoping to produce 2,000 copies of the 2014 spread. They're also heading to the National Stationery Show in New York City in the spring to network with more retailers from across the country \u2014 hopefully, to increase the calendar's distribution even more.   \nSEE ALSO: 10 Cute Animals Walking Like Humans\n\n\nFunk said the production process is basic: She designs AC's costumes and the set, then takes the pictures. When she's done, Groh compiles them into the calendar layout. AC obediently sits and receives treats. \nEach calendar has had a different theme, like \"Famous Monsters,\" \"Movies\" and \"Musical Genres.\" This year's is \"Magical Creatures,\" so AC will be donning fairy, wizard, gnome and dragon costumes. The pair is aiming to have the calendar completed before May.  \nAC, by the way, stands for \"annoying customer\" \u2014 a reference to the 1994 film Clerks. \n\"He's great \u2014 he doesn't seem to mind the costumes at all,\" Funk said. \"I got him from a shelter a few years back. I'm not totally sure what kind of cat he is.\"\nWe do. He's a star.\nRead more about the project here. Would you back this super amazing calendar?
