What is it about lolcat speak that makes it so much fun to repeat and reuse? Hard to say. Blogger Anil Dash wrote about the unusual grammar of lolcats, speculating that it was a "pidgin language, used to help cats talk to humans." A reader pointed Dash to a San Francisco Chronicle article about MeowChat, where people maintain cat identities online and speak in a cat language that slightly overlaps with lolcat speak. (Genius detail: Some cat lovers disdain MeowChat because it implies that cats are not intelligent, evolved creatures.) Mark Liberman at Language Log posited the best theory, arguing that lolcat was more like kitty baby talk, and cited a 1922 passage from The Clicking of Cuthbert by P.G. Wodehouse: "Little Tinky-Ting don't need no liver-pad, he don't," said Mrs. Luella Mainprice Jopp, addressing the animal in her arms, "because he was his muzzer's pet, he was."
