You sent us pictures of your pets. We chose our six favorite cats, then asked you for LOLcat captions. The suggestions came pouring in, and after sifting through hundreds of suggestions, we finally have our very own mental_floss-brand LOLcats! Big thanks to everyone who participated. Here are the winning LOLs!

We had a lot of great entries that weren’t entirely flattering to the man in the pink Chuck Taylor (”Kitteh will takez U shoppin 4 man shoez,” from Ellen, for instance), but Amy’s was our favorite. She wrote “I can does electrolysis?” (which I changed slightly).

Thanks to Peter for the hilarious suggestion!

I don’t get it. Why do we assume that cats have the same grasp on grammar that 13 year old bloggers have? Felines are well known for their spelling and syntax.

Yo dudes — this wasn’t a shirt contest, just a for-funsies contest!

I thought this one was just “funsies”. Being Internet famous is reward enough. Thanks Meta!
