One thing I’ve never mentioned here is that I’m a cat FREAK. My closest friends are afraid to say the word “cat” in my presence for fear of listening to me ramble on about cats for an hour without taking a breath.
For those of you who are familiar with lolcats, you know the truest form of a lolcat contains the worst spelling and grammar ever witnessed by mankind. For the sake of understanding this post, please check out the website if you’ve never seen a lolcat.
I’ve seen some pretty cute lolcats that poke fun at the traditional lolcats by donning proper grammar and spelling. So, to mix things up a bit here on my blog, I’ve dedicated an entire post to my ten favorite grammar-related lolcats.
Now, don’t get me wrong. I love lolcats and I think their intentionally horrific grammar is hilarious. In fact, when I imagine the thoughts my own cat is having, I always envision his grammar is pretty awful. He is, after all, a cat. ๐
I love cats!!! even if they can spell !!!
haha I meant “canยดt”
As a lover of correct grammar, you’d like LOLCats would make my skin crawl, but I love it! Great collection here. ๐
That is without doubt the funniest lolcat collecshun I have ever seen
“Editor kitty proofreads a column.” – That was the best!
FO SHO !!!
Ditto! hahahahha! ๐
My favourite too – I believe the phrase I’m looking for is the somewhat improbable ROFL. We laugh now, but wait until it’s the first language of the internet. It’s not so long ago that the debate raged about whether or not it was acceptable to start a business e.mail with Hi Whoever. My father, in his wisdom, always said that mocking is catching. Took me years to work out what he meant, but I can see it all coming…..

Brilliant!!! You sound just like me! x
I love LOLcats!!! Great post!
Love this collection! I remember one having to do with editing and I think the cat said it would edit your face. Um..hm. Yeah, you should go find it so that my fuzzy memory doesnโt completely ruin it for you.. ๐

I’ve seen that one:

One of my favourites!
Yes! Thank you for finding it!
i can haz red pin?
This is the worst blog post I have ever read.
Can u write better than this?
From the way you’ve written stuff on your blog, it seems that you don’t have a bloody sense of humour.
Let the author write what he/she wants. No one needs your pessimistic opinion anyway.
I just saw you on the WordPress homepage and am SO excited to dig through more of your posts. I love that there are other crazy grammar Nazis out there. I LOLed at the kitties, too! A great way to start the day ๐
This is hysterical! Brilliant! Congrats on FP-ed and hang on for the ride————–

Love it! Editor and Hitler Kitty are great.
Hilarious! Love my cats and grammar too. I can relate. Congrats on being Freshly Pressed!
haha thats funny, cats will forever be grammatically incorrect
I sometimes imagine what kind of accent cats would have.
Ha, that’s great! Now I’m trying to imagine my cat with an accent. What would a Siamese mix sound like? Hmmm…. ๐
I imagine my cat sounding like a ninja: “I will kill you in your sleep.”
Oh my goodness, I love numbers 1 through 3. Spot was my favourite ๐
I’m pretty sure my cats would have fantastic grammar, or at least grammar comparable to mine.
Thanks for sharing!
Oh my. I’m extremely nervous about leaving this comment. I have proof read it three times, cut and pasted it from Word in order to find any spelling mistakes, and interrupted my boss on a conference call so that he might reread it for me. Now, I fear I have gone on too long for an appropriate comment post. I’ll stop here. Oh yes, great post.

If it’s any consolation, your comment made me laugh out loud. (And your blog did too. Hilarious!)
Number 2 was my favourite!
I used to have the “proofreads a column” one posted on my office door at my last editing job. I might need to print that one out again and adorn my work area now that I’m in charge of an entire magazine. o.O
good stuff
LOL those were great thanks for posting! I โค kitties!!
Ha! Great post! As a writer and editor, and cat lover, I adore LOLcats.
At all times I have the “editor kitty editing column” and “if you don’t like my changes, I can always edit your face” posted in my cubicle/office by my computer.
Great collection!
Drive on,
– M.
Love, love , love it! (And cats!!)
i really want that kind of cat… its soo cute
Haha, cute!
Proof-reading the column was my favorite. Just hilarious.
Thanks and congrats on FP!
Number 5 is funny because it’s true in humans! My students are shocked – SHOCKED! – when they get back a paper covered in red ink. When they tell me they’d always gotten A’s in English, my response is usually, “Then your former English teachers didn’t know grammar, either.”
Great job compiling a great list.
This is the cats meow!
Wonderful post. I just lapped it up.
My cat could definitely proofread a column. She has better grammar than I do.
Loved it!
Thanks!
this is just fantastic!
cute! I read this with my grammatically correct, cat-loving, LOLcats tolerating daughter and we both LOL-ed.
I loved this post! Thanks for sharing. ๐
Someone I know bought a lolcat book … It was funny –
A wet kitten with blue eyes looking sad – “You haz betrayed my tiny trust” :’)
I always tell myself these things are seen so often in emails nowadays, but darn they still make me lol! I love it! My fav is the Nazi cat.

LOLCats saves my life on many days.
My cats prefer the butt-on-the-keyboard approach to line editing.
VERY true!
This post was too cute!
I’m a cat freak too, hahaha. My friends also don’t say the word cat in front of me ._. But anyway…
I loved your post ๐ mostly because I love cats and lolcats.com xD
Oh, the other day I made my grammar teacher take a look at the web lolcats, and she was horrorified, but she also found it so funny and cute.
She’s a bigger cat freak than me, in fact, all the examples that she gives in class are cat related. “the cat”, “that cat”, “I love cats” “cats are better than dogs” etc…
Congrats on being freshly pressed!
Greetings from Chile ๐
Javi.
ps: My native language is spanish, although I’m studying English, I don’t write well yet.
Totally untrue, Javi. Your English is excellent, dude.
Thanks! I’m not a dude, though ๐
(correct me if I’m wrong, dude it’s for boys, right?)
I agree with Mackenzie. When I was studying French, I couldn’t write well to save my life. You’re doing a great job. ๐
Thanks ๐
This is one of the greatest posts EVER. I am a grammar nazi myself, and although I hate it when people spell and type poorly, I do love lolcats. THESE lolcats are my favourites now! Especially Spot! Data and Spot were always the best on TNG; and now…even better! Thank you!!!
I love lolcats – both the proper and improper grammar ones. Did that sentence contain improper grammar? Oh well.
I would be laughing out loud if I wasn’t in the library “studying.” Oh my! This makes me want to almost show this to the girl next to me because I’m pretty sure she’s a writer and these are just that funny. ๐ Must go share on facebook; that is for sure.
LOL!! Love these. Grammar cat looks fierce.

I like the “Editor Kitty Proofreads a Column” one, actually laughed a bit.
Great post!
Thanks for sharing. I adore cats but have a hard time appreciating LOLcats. I personally feel that cats are much more intelligant than that. I look forward to poking around some of your other posts as I enjoyed this to such a degree.
Hilarious. Alot of things come and go but the lolcats never cease to crack me up. Please, keep the lolcats coming!
I never got in to the lolcats per se, but I DO make up voices for my cats and we have conversations… please don’t judge me… I don`t have kids to torture by embarrassment,so I take it out on the innocent cats. I also engage my husband in these conversations (with the cats, of course, not ME), and he really LOVES that… really.
Aaaaaah I love these! Especially the one “proofreading a column”. Love the use of “abhor” as well. And Nazi Kitteh scares me, in a cute way.
Thank you, for these!
I, too, abhor incorrect grammar. I do have a special exception for cheezburger fillings!
I love that site. How did a cat get on Star Trek? That’s a classic picture.
Data (an android) decided to keep a pet cat as part of his exploration of humanity. Spot (the cat) adds some lighthearted moments to the later seasons of the show.
As a lover of cats and grammar, I enjoyed your post. Congratulations on being freshly pressed!
Thank you for sharing such funny lolcats.
this is brilliant!

Hi, Hope. I very much enjoyed your post. You might like to know my two cats (not of the LOL variety) have started a grammatically correct blog, I Can Haz Food Blog?, despite its referential title: http://icanhazfoodblog.wordpress.com/
Thanks,
Dan
ha ha ha, very funny. LOL
Lolcats are the best thing ever created. They always manage to give me a smile. ๐
Ha ha! I’z laffin’ out lowd reedin’ ur blog!

Having grown up with English Major parents, this post just cracks me up. The more Iโm on the Internet, the more typos and hilarious ones at that, I see. I really love the editor cat proofreading a column. Having grown up with cats, I know they canโt spell worth a darn. But they come running when they hear a can opener.
How can you people not realise that lolcats is pretty much the absolute worst thing on the internet and is a terrible, terrible joke repeated over and over again and it’s just so bad and agrgrgarbgfhjhdgdgagdgsdgdshhhg dgkmgdkmg
You’re in the wrong place to be making that argument. Just sayin’. ๐

Editor Kitty has been my favorite lolcat for a long time! I look just like that when I proofread things my husband has written… ๐ I love the lolcats. The bad grammar and misspellings are a big part of what make them funny. I’m chuckling just thinking of them!
Iโm also a cat freak + I like the pics
I love cats! I also like reading lolcats! So…. can I haz chizburgir? =)
very funny!
#9 is just like my old pussy…used to help me with the typing!
As for #6, he’s the tops! LOL-ly. ^_^
I loved this post! The LOLCats crack me up. I think my cat would probably be a stickler for grammar though. I can see it in his eyes. ๐
#7 made me laugh. what a proper kitty pose.
LOLZ ( ๐ )this is hilarious! I love LOLCats AND grammar humour.
Love this post. I’m a copy editor and I’m owned by three cats. Lolcats is my guilty pleasure.
hahahah that is hilarious..especially the Nazi cat โค
My favorite one is the one with Data in it. I wasn’t expecting that.
Funny post. I love the nazi cat and the proof reading cat…
WOW! At last, a blog that synthesises two of my greatest loves (cats and grammar)- the others being plants and horses!!
I am owned by six cats, one of whom insists on helping me type my letters. Trouble is, her contributions are all in Feline (e.g. ffftttt66**hhhhhhh999) but I am sure her spelling is impeccable.
In lolcat talk: I iz lovin dis post. Really cool and I love cats! I dont like grammar so these are the ultimate cats!
Have a go on my blog:

I love cats and lolcats!
Great post…. Lolcats are just great
I love the Editor cat! That’s hilarious. Proofreads a column. Lol ๐
lovely cat,i like!
I LOVE this post! TOO FUNNY!! I too love lolcats but find it hard to read — the grammar and spelling slow me down and I often have to read it again to “get” it. I love the counterpoint of the correctly spelled, grammatically correct cats — which, frankly, is what I’d expect of a cat. Having cats myself, being a cat lover, rescuing cats, feeding feral cats, I believe DOGS would use incorrect grammar and use spelling, while cats would be quite picky about grammar and spelling.
So glad you posted this!
Hey, I’m a dog lover… but I can’t argue with your assessment! ๐
Too funny! You know I’m going to spend the next half hour Google-ing lolcats. Thanks!
Cats scare me but they are cute. My favourite was the “column” one. Thanks for sharing!
Hahaha.. i like cat, because too funny and cute..
nice post..
Hoho, it is very lovely. Yes, in lovely cats also, I appreciate it so much. Thanks for knowing me then.
I sent this link to my kids, who affectionately(?) refer to me as a Grammar Nazi. LOLCats are always a favorite, but I love the grammar emphasis of this collection. Thanks for posting!
You rule, thank you for this; brightened my day x
Thank you for starting my day off with the delightful LOL Cats:) Congrats on Freshly Pressed!
I am an English teacher and find the bad grammar on lolcats to be the funniest part of them. I mean, they’re cats- the fact that they even use basic English nouns and verbs in the proper order is impressive!
Editor Kitty is amazing!
I love your blog! Keep up the good work. Now, if I can just teach my eyes to see the errors in my own writing, I’ll get ahead of the game.

Love this. Love. it.
Gotta say I love your header- very clever showing off that you’re a grammar nerd AND a spelling dork all at once.
I love cat so much and lolcats really make me L-O-L
This is fantastic! I especially love “Sophisticated cat abhors bad grammar” and “Editor kitty proofreads column”. lol. Such a good laugh. (:

Cool blog. It was cute. I luv the catz too. LOL
I liked the number 2 pic. Thanks for sharing the fun with us.
Editor Kitty did it for me – it was very nearly a keyboard-killer due to the mouthful of coffee I had just taken!
Although I’m in favor of the correct usage of grammar, some people take it way too far. Like people who hate slang or colloqialism, and view anyone who uses it as ignorant. It reminds me of a David Foster Wallace essay I read.
But, on a lighter note, yay for cats! =)
Wow! You really do love cats!
I took one look at “Grammar Nazi” cat and my appendix exploded from laughing so hard xD
Iโm pretty sure my cats would have fantastic grammar, or at least grammar comparable to mine.

but i voted for #7
is it your cat?lol

Indeed, in many ways I found the whole concept a great life metaphor. As for the sport itself, we have some girls who tried out and have really surprised themselves in terms of ability.
