Before LOLCat, Grumpy Cat, Longcat, Nyan Cat, before all the famed kitties of the internet age, before the modern computer was but a glint in Mother Turing's eye, there were the felines featured in Kittens and Cats: A First Reader (https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/kittens-and-cats-a-first-reader-1911-cats-and-captions-before-the-internet-age/) (1911) Then the first cat meme ever was born - "QUEEN CAT" - on page 2 of the book. "QUEEN CAT" is known as a cat with a crown. She is the mother, the queen of all cat memes ever to have existed.
