Kat Swenski is at it again! The artist has proven herself a worthy gif scholar, churning out imaginative "explanations" for some of the internet's most popular gifs. This edition deals with the unfortunate result of a bizarre and unholy union. For more gif-related art, visit her Facebook or the r/behindthegifs subreddit.

And we're inclined to agree. What kind of monster pronounces it "jif"? 

Hard to believe it was 4 years ago today that this incredulous-looking tot stole the hearts of the world wide web. The nearly iconic image was culled from a viral video featuring Chloe and her sister being surprised with a trip to Disneyland. As her elder sister weeps tears of joy, Chloe's expression can be described as a look of WTF. 

After the video went viral, internet users began photoshopping Chloe's face into memes, classic works of art, and album covers. The GIF, we are happy to report, is still a popular reaction GIF. To commemorate this special day, we've collected the highest rated Chloe memes from the Know Your Meme archives, for your viewing pleasure.

Cats are great. Dogs are great. The only thing better is when they're together. 

Subtle and almost mundane memes that you will forget about while reading, but will think about later on in the day, and when you do, you'll briefly smile.

German cartoonist Vincent Kunert is killing it with these clever drawings and animated GIFs. 

Can you believe it's been 12 years since the term "doge" was first used? While the word made its debut on the internet show Homestar Runner, it really took hold 5 years later thanks to Kabosu, the Japanese Shiba Inu we associate it with today. 

Photos of Kabosu, the pet of a Japanese schoolteacher, really exploded onto the meme scene in 2010. Since then, thousands of images of her and other shibas have been graced with misspelled words in comic sans. These are some of our all time favorite memes and GIFS feautring Kabosu and other adorable shibes.

They just feel so right.

Take note, Ashton Kutcher. 

Who needs boring GIFs? Yeeeeehaw! 

Let's be real: cats make everything better. Do you know why cats don't play poker in the jungle? 

Too many cheetahs.

Cats are majestic creatures. Which other beasts of the earth, by the time they are 9 years old have only been awake on average for 3 of them? Maybe a captive sloth, but the cats give them a run for their money. 

And what is better than your favorite feline than a compendium of Caturday memes. Or if you really need a laugh how about some of the funniest memes for this auspicious day. 

Get your GIF on. 

Baby Groot's got moves. 

Because cartoons can be deep.
