Cats
Cats are generally loved on 4chan, despite some people posting TortureCat and Zippocat. Saturday is often Caturday, with cat-themed floods of pics. Pictures of cats, along with any other domesticated animals, were generally not welcome on /n/ (now defunct, merged with /an/), and are still too often a sore point among /an/ frequenters.
In general, when a cat image macro is made, the cat's control of the English language is fairly basic, with frequent spelling and grammar mistakes.

- 38. One cat leads to another.
- 39. Another cat leads to Zippocat.
