Happycat is one of the older SA memes, dating back to early 2003 when it was discovered by Fancycat and a truckload of other goons, launching it into meme status by posting it and Photoshopping it all over the place.

The cat itself is a British Shorthair with an amusing grin, thus receiving the dub of Happycat. It was used by a Russian cat food company that needed a mascot, but it apparently was bad choice because they've been out of business for ages now. It managed to surpass the more-bannable Fiestacat in popularity, but even now Happycat is usually bannable because goons mostly deny the existence of their own memes. He made a slight comeback when a goon with a spare $1000 decided to make an ad in the LA Times involving the cat of happy.

The YTMND Era

Although Happycat has ran his course on SA, YTMND has adopted him as their next giant meme. Years ago, when a video on Ogrish was found showing a cat in a box being torched, YTMND white-knighted their way to the top to get the video and creator destroyed, while ignoring the other much less-important videos of human torture and death. Along the lines someone made a YTMND site featuring a play-by-play of the video, complete with Doom music in the background. An outraged catlady claimed that not even Doom music made this funny: NEDM. Thus, the new YTMND flavor of the month was born. Various cats were used in sites, but once the exploitable Happycat entered the arena, it was a whole new fad. Happycat is now the official NEDM mascot to this day, with the theme 'We Interrupt this Program' by Coburn. Chap stick is somehow involved.

Rude Kitty

On Myspace, someone attempted to profit off of Happycat with the Rude Kitty line of crap. It involved slapping Happycat on shirts, bags, stickers, and other things with F-bombs and captions worthy of Gaia. Once found, YTMND rushed to the scene once again and managed to wipe Rude Kitty off the face of the earth.

4Chan

Like any other cat, Happycat will usually show up on Caturday or any other thread about cats. He shares his stardom with friends Longcat, Limecat, Speedycat, Ceiling Cat, Serious Cat, and every other cat meme.

Everywhere else

For some reason, people thought slapping the phrase I CAN HAS CHEESEBURGER? on Happycat was comedy gold, when in reality, is a load of comedy pyrite at the least. With Lolcats gaining notoriety, we can only hope the general populace doesn't destroy Happycat, lest he ends up losing meme status to newfags who act like they're the first ever to find it.
