Because “lolcats” is a misnomer. I mentioned before my lack of affinity for this particular corner of predictable web culture – the cat, the poorly spelt caption – I’m not seeing the gag.
My good buddy Hr. Flemming and I have since put this down to the reduced novelty seeking associated with infection with the brain parasite toxoplasmosis, common among people owned by cats who demand they have a clean box to drop chud in.
If anybody has a competing theory I’m all ears.
