The most acclaimed web cat is Nyan Cat, an 8-bit animated feline, who won Meme of the Year at the Webby Awards in May.
The Pop Tart-shaped viral sensation stormed onto the Internet in April 2011 when illustrator Chris Torres introduced Nyan Cat to the masses via YouTube.
Since then, Nyan Cat’s fame has spawned a frequently updated website, video games, a soundtrack and many cute accessories.
“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’s gained its own amazing subculture with incredibly creative fans.”
