Feline Imagine Circa 1999

Buzzfeed.com is one of the strangest sites I've seen in some time. I have no idea how these people got their cats wedged into their scanners, or why.

Zamboni - just thought it was weird to see actual cat scans resurrected on Buzzfeed a half hour ago...as if it was something new.

this is one of the earliest memes i remember coming across, and a good 'un.

> #24 is the best cat.

Probably, but he's not getting scanned. Going on where he is on the device, it looks like he was sent through the document feeder. I have no idea how he survived.

Also, #21 seems to be actually enjoying the whole being smushed against the glass thing.

Won't somebody think of the kitties?

Damnit... I was going to make some witty comment about finally being able to answer that old AskMe question about if a cat's arse touches the counter when it sits on it.

Only two problems with this.
1) it was a fark thread
2) someone suggested it in the thread in question

Yeah... Lucky really, because I'd have failed to make it witty anyway...

I like that they're upfront and honest about it being a meme aggregation engine, but I think other sites like Reddit or even Metafilter handle it better.

I mean, arbitrary adjectives? Why not just say if it "has favorites?"

That meme is so old that many of those cats are probably dead now.

I say pretty much the same thing whenever I watch Citizen Kane.

Did anyone ever try to wedge Orson Welles in a scanner?
