One day, there was a picture of a cat. It was not Caturday but this specific cat was so long it became a meme and, though the day was not specifically the day of cats, this cat's length became famous. Originating from 2chan, it is sacred meme that embodies the spirit of The Lulz. It has touched the hearts of every anon and /b/tard in the internets.
Longcat is a real cat (obviously). It's IRL name is Shiroi(白い), which means "white" in Japanese.
On a side note, thoreticaly, the phrase "longcat is loooong" should have an infinite amount of os to express longcat's sheer size. This can be notated "longcat is l∞ng"
Behold, the end of all that we know and love. The Marcab Confederacy's Deathstar Longcat.
Noone knows how long Longcat actually is. The figure above gives an estimated length of 10,000 ft, however this number has never been verified by science. The most successful space mission to measure Longcat had to turn back and recharge their lasers after just over 9000 feet in the air.
The Prophecy
It has been prophesied that during Catnarok Longcat will do epic battle with Tacgnol for the fate of the universe.
It is said that Longcat is part of a foursome of powerful cats that, when brought together, shall restore peace and harmony throughout the land.
“
There shall be Four. One of Air, his fur white as snow. His power shall enlighten the masses, and herald the beginning. The second of Earth, black as the night. The darkness will be overwhelming, but do not fear! He has come as a harbinger of the goodness to come. The thrice appearance of a creature of great length, this one coloured as though wrapped in the very flame it represents, will appear to assuade our fears of the nigh end.Though it will be met with hate and loathing, it shall soldier on to aid us. The final, the fourth, shall emerge from the great oceans as though it was born of them, joining it's brothers and spreading harmony as it walks.
Together, the Four Felines will combine their great power, and summon a fifth, a creature of pure heart, radiant and beautiful. He, mighty and virile, will open the soul of all followers, and lead them to the land of ultimate delight. Never again will people have to buy dogs or get in their cars! No more will innocent yellow vans tremble at the approaching horde! The fruit of our reptilian labors will come, and feline power shall rule to cosmos!
A little known fact is that Longcat was not first sighted on /b/.At least 100 years ago Longcat made his debut on Monty Python's Flying Circus as the counter to the rise in Killer Cars.
It is debatable whether or not this was in fact Longcat, as it died at the end of the short, however this can be explained away through Hollywood Magic.
