Internet is made of cats, so why not HTTP Status codes, explained with cats?
Originally, HTTP Status Cats was created by yours truly, me in 2011! It is best described on Know Your Meme.
I would never imagined I had such a 10-min fame at that time I created and posted the cat pics on Flickr. I was immediately featured on Boing Boing, Mashables, CNN Tech, BuzzFeed, and many more including international tech news etc. Especially, I loved that Boing Boing said I "just won the internet".
A good time.
HTTP Status Cats are later well-adopted by communities, and evolved into many APIs and apps, especially HTTP Status Cats API and its awesome domain, http.cat by Rogério Vicente. The page is also available in Catalan language, as its TLD shows!
