Tamara Ikenberg of The News Journal states that "some trace the lolcats back to the site 4chan, which features bizarre cat pictures on Saturdays, or 'Caturdays'." Ikenburg adds that the images have been "slinking around the Internet for years under various labels, but they didn't become a sensation until early 2007 with the advent of icanhascheezburger.com"[12] The first image on "I CAN HAS CHEEZBURGER?" was posted on January 11, 2007."[13] The use of "lolcat" to describe the phenomenon was introduced no later than June 14, 2006 when the domain name "lolcats.com" was registered.[14] Lev Grossman of Time wrote that the oldest known example "probably dates to 2006",[15] but later corrected himself in a blog post[16] where he recapitulated the anecdotal evidence readers had sent him, placing the origin of "Caturday" and many of the images now known by a few as "lolcats" in early 2005. The domain name "caturday.com" was registered on the 30th April 2005.

More recently, the syntax of lolcat captions was used as the basis for LOLCODE, an esoteric programming language with interpreters and compilers available in .NET framework, perl, etc.[2]

Linguistic predecessors include George Herriman's comic strip Krazy Kat, whose main character spoke in pidgin English.

Visual predecessors include a 1988 Arrow a book edited by Peter Fincham, called "Cat Chat". It featured monochrome pictures of cats in various poses with humorous captions added by celebrities such as Clive Anderson or Rory McGrath. ISBN 0099640406 and ISBN 978-0099640400
