As we previously reported, How Cats Took Over the Internet will be kicking off tomorrow, August 7, at Museum of the Moving Image and will run until January 31st. The adorable five-month presentation will explore how our feline friends have taken the Internet by storm, chronicling the popularity of Caturday, LilBub, lolcats, and the general fervor generated by cat videos and celebrity cats.
While there are sure to be world-famous cats featured in the exhibition, we believe that our beloved neighborhood cats also deserve their time to shine. We asked the proud cat owners of Astoria and LIC to take to Instagram and show us their favorite “cats of the Internet” photos, and tag them #WeHeartAstoriaCats. Here are five of our favorites!
