Cats: What has the Internet Become?!

As most internet-dwellers know, the internet has become a place for cats. I don't really understand what is so great about these completely random pictures of cats with captions that are so entertaining, but they are.
One example, is the "Heavy Breathing" cat. This cat has been appearing everywhere, especially with pictures of food that are generally unhealthy but look incredibly delicious.
The only way to really adequately explain the vast popularity of cats on the inter-webs, is that cats can be really entertaining. What I mean is, cats normally are lazy and sleep longer than most other animals on the planet, and the remaining hours that they spend awake, cats usually like to eat, or look out of windows. Or look down on humans. All those funny cat videos on Youtube are those rare moments that cats actually DO something. Dogs, on the other hand, are very energetic and have no problems trying to do entertaining things to get their human's attention. Cats such as Grumpy Cat and Maru, the Japanese cat, have gained attention on the internet thanks to their cuteness, and in Grumpy Cat's case,  the angryness and ability to add it to any other picture with a caption. My theory is that cats have taken over the web for this year, and its just a craze for now, just as 2013 had a thing for sloths. Never forget the dogs that have tried hard  for the internet's attention either! Doge has become a huge fan faze as well. And he is a pretty adorable dog too.
