The website I am directing you to could possibly be the greatest collection of funny cat pictures on the planet, but perhaps it is much more than that. We're talking full on impossible-to-resist-even-if-you-hate-cats hilarity. However, these photographs are not your run of the mill shots with funny captions. Oh no! In fact today there is a hover kitty on the homepage. Which brings me to my first point about the intrinsically wonderful value of the site.
Photography is a skill. Many of the photos on this site required the photographer to know exactly how to adjust his/her f-stop or film speed to capture moments of movement or compensate for poor lighting in a basement. The shots are amazing and although I realize that if you take a blue million pictures one is bound to turn out, you've got to enjoy that millionth pic. The pictures would be cute without the captions, but when you combine great shots with silly captions and people don't laugh, well then, grits ain't groceries. (shout out to Grandma L)
The cats on I Can Haz Cheezburger are given fake accents. Sometimes captions are written in plain English, but often words become letters or jumbles of letters. It's a total gas to see which one of your friends will need a translation! For the most part, though (98%) they are easy to get. But there is an unmistakable personality created for each cat, each one funnier than the last.
Happy browsing!
