8 Geeky Cats to Celebrate National Cat Day

Kelly Schwarze — Sat, 29 Oct 2011 07:03:53 PDT

In the ongoing battle of cat vs. dog, we'd like to name cats as the fluffy mascot of nerd culture. With their innate smarts, enterprising attitude, and the force behind some of the Internet's biggest memes, it's safe to say felines are officially Team Geek. In celebration of National Cat Day, take a look at the geekiest cats of pop culture.

iPhone App You Need: lolSpeak

Nothing's more bothersome than lazy Lolcat translation, so download this lolSpeak app as fast as possible, and you can haz all the grammatically incorrect feline fun as you want.

Trust me, out in this world, you need a good translator.

And it's free, unless you want your kittehs without ads.

OMG! LOLMagnetz!

If you have been on the Internet in the past two years, then you know the LOLCats of I Can Has Cheezburger, and if you have any kind of sense of humor at all, you love them. So how amazing are these LOLMagnetz from ThinkGeek?

Because I think it's an art form (trust me, not just anyone can do it), what better way to train than to have the words in magnet form, for your rearranging pleasure? I'm ordering a few sets, and look for the communication in my household to get reeeeally interesting in the near future. KTHXBai!

Website of the Day: Speaklolcat

Thinking about applying for a job at icanhascheezburger? Then you'd better brush up your skillz with the ultimate Lolcat translator, Speaklolcat. As a die-hard lolcat lover, my biggest pet peeve in the world - and I have many - is when people try to create their own Lolcat text and fail, horribly.

Please people - it's not all in bad spelling! Yes, poor spelling is involved, as is poor grammar, but most Lolcat vernacular is based on the phonetic spelling of words. The rest, my friends, is art. Pure, infallible art. I used Speaklolcat to translate a famous Oscar Wilde quote and produced "TEH ONLY WAI 2 GIT RID OV TEMPTASHUN IZ 2 YIELD 2 IT." Quite right.

LOLCats Hits Politics - I Can Haz Crazy Caption?

OK, I'm going to tell you about this, with a warning: once you start making these pictures you won't get anything else done. Those begrudgingly funny, quasi-annoying crazy cat caption pics? This is that, but with political and media figures! It's called Pundit Kitchen and they want you to "cook up pictures" for your own amusement.

There's a whole passel of pre-loaded pics to choose from, or feel free to upload your own. Slap on a caption, grab the code and put it in your own blog or share with your most patient pals. By all means if you make funny ones, send 'em our way! We might even post our faves on Friday.

Oh Hai, Geekshooger!

Not a day goes by that I don't get my Lolcat fix ever since I found the site. What it is about grammar-impaired kitty cats that has me so transfixed? I will never know. Don't ask me to pick my favorites, I just can't - but I will pick my favorite geeky Lolcats.

To see all my favorite Lolcats in action,
