THE LORE
LIVES HERE.

Original cats. Community characters. Stories worth keeping on file.

Toshi identity artwork

ILLUSTRATED CATS / FILE 001

A blue cat with two namesakes.

Toshi’s project website says the name combines Brian Armstrong’s cat with Satoshi Nakamoto. The blue cat is its community mascot, presented by the project as the Face of Base.

Meet Toshi
Purr identity artwork

ILLUSTRATED CATS / FILE 002

The cat that opened Hyperliquid’s native spot market.

Hyperliquid introduced PURR as its first HIP-1 native token. The project’s announcement places it in the launch of on-chain spot trading, rather than identifying a pre-existing viral cat or a separate celebrity pet. The cat mascot belongs to that community story.

Meet Purr
Popcat identity artwork

INTERNET ORIGINALS / FILE 003

One open mouth. An entire internet.

The wide-mouth cat is Oatmeal. A preserved post from its owner describes the original clip as Oatmeal chirping at a bug. Popcat.click turned the image into a popping game with a country leaderboard.

Mog identity artwork

ILLUSTRATED CATS / FILE 004

Unbothered. In sunglasses. On file.

Mog’s project calls its mascot Joycat: a grinning cat in reflective sunglasses. It describes the character as enjoying life and staying unbothered by outside judgment.

Meet Mog
MEW identity artwork

ILLUSTRATED CATS / FILE 005

A cat in a very dog-shaped world.

In the project’s fictional story, MEW is the cat hero of a world dominated by dogs. Its narrative pits MEW against Shibatoni and his henchmen. These are fictional characters, not real-world events.

Meet MEW
Hajimi identity artwork

INTERNET ORIGINALS / FILE 006

A Chinese cat-culture catchphrase, on BNB.

Hajimi is a Chinese internet expression associated with cats and playful humming. The Hajimi project describes its adaptation from a song lyric into wider cat culture. Its BNB token is one project using that expression; the word’s popularity is not proof of token ownership of the meme.

Meet Hajimi
Keycat identity artwork

INTERNET ORIGINALS / FILE 007

Play them off, Keyboard Cat.

Keyboard Cat began with Charlie Schmidt’s 1984 footage of Fatso. Schmidt uploaded it in 2007; the Play Him Off remixes spread in 2009. Bento and Skinny later carried on the character. The Base token project’s licensing statement is a separate claim from this documented video history.

Kitty identity artwork — artwork not yet matched

INTERNET ORIGINALS / FILE 008

More than one Solana Kitty answers to this name.

Several unrelated projects use the name Kitty. The current Hello Kitty project now has its own source-matched file; the intended match for the original shorthand roster entry remains unresolved. The other candidates remain here for comparison.

Meet Kitty
Michi identity artwork

INTERNET ORIGINALS / FILE 009

One face. Infinite remixes.

Michi’s community website presents the cat as the infinite meme. Its gallery invites people into a growing world of cat remixes. The earliest original photograph and its ownership remain a research gap.

Meet Michi
Nub identity artwork

ILLUSTRATED CATS / FILE 010

Small cat. Large commitment to being silly.

Nubcat is the illustrated mascot presented by the nub community. The project website pairs its silly, compact cat character with a Solana token. Its artwork and social presence are the starting point for this file, rather than an invented real-cat biography.

Meet Nub
Mask identity artwork

ILLUSTRATED CATS / FILE 012

The cat keeping a little mystery in the file.

Catwifmask presents a masked cat as a repeatable community character. Its project site has a gallery and cat-led media alongside its Solana token. The name refers to this MASK project candidate, not every masked-cat token.

Meet Mask
Hehe identity artwork

INTERNET ORIGINALS / FILE 013

An entire reaction in four letters.

Hehecat builds around a mischievous cat reaction and the written laugh “hehe.” The source establishes this Solana project and its identifier; the first photograph and earliest meme post still need evidence.

Meet Hehe
Sharkcat identity artwork

INTERNET ORIGINALS / FILE 014

A cat dressed for deeper waters.

Sharkcat combines a cat with shark-costume imagery. The project’s current site hosts memes, a maker, cinema, and a story archive. Claims about rights to particular cat photos must be checked separately from a token’s use of those photos.

Meet Sharkcat
Mini identity artwork

ILLUSTRATED CATS / FILE 015

A tiny character with a very animated life.

Mini is a small illustrated cat character shown in the MINI project’s animations and group artwork. The website credits its site and art to @plutoplato on Telegram. The Solana token is filed separately from the artist’s work.

Meet Mini
Bongo identity artwork

INTERNET ORIGINALS / FILE 016

The internet’s percussion department.

Bongo Cat is a simple animated cat edited to play percussion and other instruments. The interactive bongo.cat website credits StrayRogue for the artwork, DitzyFlama for the meme, and Eric Huber for the site. Token projects using the character are separate from those creators.

Meet Bongo
OIIAOIIA identity artwork

INTERNET ORIGINALS / FILE 017

OIIAOIIA: the cat that keeps on spinning.

The spinning cat is Ethel. Know Your Meme records owner correspondence tracing the photograph to January 2019, then a Bilibili spinning edit on April 12, 2023. The repeating sound and rotation became a remix format. The OIIAOIIA Solana token is a later, separate project.

Meet OIIAOIIA
Giko identity artwork

INTERNET ORIGINALS / FILE 018

A cat made of characters, long before its token.

Giko is a Japanese Shift-JIS art cat associated with early message-board culture. Know Your Meme documents competing 1998 and 1999 origin dates, distinguishing the drawing from its developing personality. The Solana GIKO token is much later and does not own that history.

Meet Giko
WYAC identity artwork

INTERNET ORIGINALS / FILE 019

Two pictures. One very loud conversation.

Smudge is the white cat at the dinner table in Woman Yelling at a Cat. A June 2018 Tumblr photograph was later paired with a frame of Taylor Armstrong and Kyle Richards from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. The two-image format spread in 2019. The WYAC project’s stated Taylor Armstrong connection does not settle the cat photograph’s rights.

Meet WYAC
Meowl original meme

INTERNET ORIGINALS / FILE 021

A cat-owl hybrid. Several token candidates.

Meowl is a Photoshop cat-owl hybrid. Know Your Meme traces the image set to a 2013 Weibo post by zhumaokele, with Melonpi’s cat face on an owl body. Multiple Solana tokens use the image; none is selected as the definitive roster match.

Meet Meowl
Glorp identity artwork

INTERNET ORIGINALS / FILE 024

Alien-cat energy. A sourceable Solana address.

Glorp’s community presents an alien-like cat character and a shared collection of memes. Its public Telegram profile supplies the Solana mint and links the project’s website and art channel. The character’s first creator and earliest post remain open research questions.

Meet Glorp
Nyan original meme

INTERNET ORIGINALS / FILE 026

The rainbow cat is famous. Official token status is another matter.

Nyan Cat is the pixel-art flying cat with a pastry body and rainbow trail. The original nyan.cat site explicitly says there are no official Nyan Cat coins. Multiple Solana projects use the name; their permission or reward-sharing claims must not be treated as creator endorsement.

Meet Nyan
ElGato identity artwork

INTERNET ORIGINALS / FILE 027

The standing cat behind the ElGato candidate.

The el gato project presents the internet-famous standing cat and an interactive meme maker. Its site publishes the Solana mint. This establishes the project and its chosen character, while the original photograph’s creator still needs a source.

Meet ElGato
Bingus identity artwork

INTERNET ORIGINALS / FILE 028

The hairless internet cat, and a separate Solana token.

Bingus is associated with a wide-eyed hairless cat seen being petted. Know Your Meme traces the viral name to 2020-era sharing and notes uncertainty around the original Chinese source. The Solana token’s directory listing does not establish creator affiliation.

Meet Bingus
Gary identity artwork — artwork not yet matched

INTERNET ORIGINALS / FILE 029

Gary needs a surname—or a contract.

The supplied Solana name matches several different projects. One Gary on Sol community links a cat design to Joshua Taylor; another uses the “thank you Gary” idea. These are candidate identities, and the original reference is not resolved by either claim alone.

Meet Gary
Cashcat identity artwork

ILLUSTRATED CATS / FILE 031

A former working name, reborn as a community cat.

Cashcat builds its identity around Cash Cat, a former working name associated with Robinhood. Its project website uses a cash-holding cat mascot and links to a 2021 post recalling that name. Robinhood’s asset statement separately describes this historical connection.

Meet Cashcat
Wen identity artwork

ILLUSTRATED CATS / FILE 033

A small cat built around a familiar crypto question.

Wen’s project uses a white cat mascot and the crypto expression “wen.” Its site supplies a Solana mint and brand material. The character’s creative credits and project chronology still need fuller documentation.

Meet Wen
Wiki Cat identity artwork

ILLUSTRATED CATS / FILE 034

A learning-oriented cat community on BNB.

Wiki Cat presents itself as a community project with an educational identity. Its own site and community profile identify the WKC token and BNB contract. Education and community claims remain attributed to the project.

Meet Wiki Cat
Mr. Miggles identity artwork

ILLUSTRATED CATS / FILE 035

Meet Miggles. Check which website you are reading.

The current Miggles project site presents the cat mascot and Base token. Older directory domains can lead elsewhere; this file uses the current miggles.io source. A project’s Coinbase-related narrative does not independently establish authorization.

Meet Mr. Miggles
Mochi identity artwork

ILLUSTRATED CATS / FILE 036

Mochi’s blue world has its own Base record.

Mochi’s project presents a cat-themed community on Base. Its association with Brian Armstrong’s cat is a project narrative, not independent evidence of his endorsement of a token. The published Base contract identifies this MOCHI project.

Meet Mochi
CatSlap identity artwork

ILLUSTRATED CATS / FILE 039

A cat reaction turned into a project game.

CatSlap’s website presents slap-themed cat imagery and an interactive game around the SLAP token. The project’s game and reward claims are distinct from the provenance of any reused reaction footage.

Meet CatSlap
Ket identity artwork

ILLUSTRATED CATS / FILE 040

The yellow cat from Wyoming.

The Ket project presents its yellow cat character and publishes an Avalanche contract. Its whitepaper and community material identify the project’s chain. The cat portrait is separate from other orb-themed product artwork.

Meet Ket
Hemule identity artwork

ILLUSTRATED CATS / FILE 041

Hemule’s family story needs careful attribution.

The Hemule project describes its mascot through a story about Vitalik Buterin’s cat. This is a project account; it does not establish Vitalik’s participation or token endorsement. The site publishes an Ethereum contract.

Meet Hemule
Boba Cat identity artwork

ILLUSTRATED CATS / FILE 042

The cat, the cause, and a changed token ticker.

Boba Cat presents a cat-led community and animal-welfare narrative. Its documentation distinguishes a newer BOBA token from legacy PSPS. Claims involving Billy Markus or charitable impact require direct corroboration.

Meet Boba Cat
Ginnan identity artwork

ILLUSTRATED CATS / FILE 043

A cat with a name worth disambiguating.

Ginnan’s current project site presents a cat character, branded animation, and a Solana mint. A separate ginnan.io project describes an older token; the two are not treated as interchangeable.

Meet Ginnan
Nya identity artwork

ILLUSTRATED CATS / FILE 046

Nya is its own name, not a spelling of NYAN.

The Nya site presents NYA branding and a contract address, with a multichain project context. The precise supported deployment set is still being checked; an address string alone is not enough to assign it to a chain.

Meet Nya
Tsuki identity artwork

ILLUSTRATED CATS / FILE 047

Tsuki’s cat story starts with its own source.

Tsuki’s project and linked community pages supply a Solana contract and a cat-led identity. Narrative or celebrity connections in community material remain uncorroborated unless their original sources are filed.

Meet Tsuki
Lmeow identity artwork — artwork not yet matched

ILLUSTRATED CATS / FILE 048

Lmeow has several plausible answers.

Ethereum, Solana, and Robinhood Chain projects use Lmeow naming. Their sites describe different projects and addresses. No single portrait or deployment is chosen as the definitive identity in this disambiguation file.

Meet Lmeow
Catwifbag identity artwork

INTERNET ORIGINALS / FILE 051

A cat. A bag. A separate source trail.

The Catwifbag community’s Telegram portal identifies the BAG project. Claimed connections to dogwifhat’s owner or photographer need direct evidence; the shared meme format alone cannot establish licensing.

Meet Catwifbag
Ski Mask Cat identity artwork

ILLUSTRATED CATS / FILE 053

A masked cat with its own Base identity.

Ski Mask Cat’s project page supplies its Base token contract and a profile-picture maker. It is distinct from Ski Mask Dog and from Solana Catwifmask. Access to a portrait tool does not grant a blanket artwork license.

Meet Ski Mask Cat
Thinking Cat identity artwork

ILLUSTRATED CATS / FILE 056

The cat that needs a moment to think.

The project pairs a contemplative cat with jokes about hesitation and overthinking. Its website includes a cat decision button, a profile-picture tool, and a collection of community memes. The original photograph and its earliest circulation are still being researched.

Meet Thinking Cat
Golden Kitty identity artwork

ILLUSTRATED CATS / FILE 057

An award-shaped cat with a separate token story.

Golden Kitty uses a golden cat trophy as its mascot and presents itself as a fan tribute to Product Hunt’s Golden Kitty award associated with Robinhood in 2015. This is the project’s chosen cultural reference; the token is a separate creation.

Meet Golden Kitty
CateCoin (BNB) identity artwork

ILLUSTRATED CATS / FILE 058

A cat coin with a story reaching back to 2021.

CateCoin’s project website dates its launch to May 2021 and describes a cat-themed community with games and decentralized applications. Its rivalry-with-dogs framing is part of the project’s branding. Claims to be the first cat coin are not established here.

Meet CateCoin (BNB)
Nacho the Kat identity artwork

ILLUSTRATED CATS / FILE 059

A cat among Kaspa’s community builders.

Nacho is the feline mascot of a community project connected to Kaspa. The website describes an ecosystem of community tools including Katscan, KatBot, KatGov and KatPool. Each tool’s current operation needs separate review.

Meet Nacho the Kat
RayCat identity artwork

ILLUSTRATED CATS / FILE 060

Business-cat energy, with its own project identity.

RayCat presents a cat character with a businesslike persona. The project’s website pairs the mascot with a rewards narrative and identifies a Solana deployment through StonkFun. The reward mechanism is a project claim, not a promise from KYC.

Meet RayCat
Billion Dollar Cat identity artwork

ILLUSTRATED CATS / FILE 061

Billy’s cat file spans Bitcoin and Solana.

Billion Dollar Cat, also called Billy, is a cat character built around the Bitcoin Runes community. The project website offers a meme archive, profile-picture tools, printable artwork and a 3D model. It reports a mint completion date of May 30, 2024.

Meet Billion Dollar Cat
Cate identity artwork

ILLUSTRATED CATS / FILE 063

Dogecoin’s little sister. Nine lives on Solana.

CATE’s mascot is a golden cat cast as Dogecoin’s little sister. The project tells her story in nine chapters; Cate Army, a holder-run site, documents a community takeover led by the trader PoorGoat. That takeover account comes from the community, not an independent history.

Meet Cate
Hello Kitty identity artwork

ILLUSTRATED CATS / FILE 065

Pink bows. Pixel hearts. KITTY on Solana.

KITTY is a Solana fan token built around Hello Kitty. Its site pairs pink bows and pixel hearts with a large image gallery and a Telegram sticker pack. The character is Sanrio’s; the token community’s own story is much newer and still needs documenting.

Meet Hello Kitty
FoxyHood identity artwork — artwork not yet matched

FRIENDS OF CATS / FILE 067

A fox in the cat scene. Current token details need a fresh match.

FoxyHood is included as a friend of the cat scene on Robinhood Chain. Older project pages describe a launchpad and a FOXY token. During our September 17, 2026 review, the live domain displayed ASTRA DEX branding, and an older FOXY token link returned “Token not found on Robinhood Chain.” The relationship between those pages and the current token needs clarification; the fox is not being confused with Linea’s unrelated FOXY.

Meet FoxyHood
