The 200 memes included in this volume fall under the following categories: Bewar of menni danjurs, Charms to disarm, Do wut u want, Eat ur food. One might even venture to say that it is the obvious limbic emotional connection that cats have with other cats and with ourselves that allows them to serve as ideal figures for memes like the ones found in this book, and we can be grateful to them for that. Indeed, their expressiveness appears at the core of the sort of communication that memes provide, as one would find much less enjoyment showing pictures of rocks with captions, given the lack of expressiveness of (most) rocks. So, what accounts for this popularity? I think a large part of it has to do with the fact that kittens are cute and that cats are endearingly funny creatures with odd habits and expressive faces.
Yet this book is one of several in a series of officially released volumes from the owners of, and I imagine the people have made a fair amount of money, to say nothing of popularity, concerning the popularity of their cat memes. We have a photo containing one or more cats and some kind of funny caption. What is it that makes lolcat memes so funny ? The memes included in this book are fairly straightforward in nature.
