The Buzz Log What’s hot on Yahoo! Buzz™ (and why)...

If you haven't heard of the LOLcats, it's only a matter of time. Also known as meme cats, kittahs or kittehs, and cat macros, these fuzzy fumblers are the latest in nine-lives worth of unstoppable Internet memes to hit message boards, blogs, and Search.

Somewhere, someone with way too much time on his or her hands posted funny pictures of cats doing funny feline things. Napping on a laptop. Interacting with the invisible world. Asking for a cheeseburger. The humor just purrs thanks to messages in a unique kitty pidgin of chat-speak, particularly the phrase, "I'm in UR." Thus the LOLcats were born and they've scratched their way into the Buzz.

Is this just the beginning of the LOLcats? Will kittehs go mainstream? Perhaps this silly trend will run out of lives to stand on. Or more likely they'll spread to the awesome repository of ridiculous celebrity images available online. Can LOLohans and Britnehs be that far away?
