[edit] Origination
Happycat is one of the older SA memes, dating back to early 2003 when it was discovered by Fancycat and a truckload of other goons, launching it into meme status by posting it and Photoshopping it all over the fucking place. The cat itself is a British Shorthair with an amusing grin, thus receiving the dub of Happycat. It was used by a Russian cat food company that needed a mascot, but it apparently was a shitty choice of one because they've been out of business dating back to 100 years ago. It managed to surpass the more-bannable Fiestacat in popularity, but even now Happycat is usually bannable because goons mostly deny the existence of their own memes. He made a slight comeback when a goon with a spare $1000 decided to make an ad in the LA Times involving the cat of happy.
[edit] The YTMND Era
Although Happycat has ran his course on SA, YTMND has adopted him as their next giant meme. Years ago, when a video on Ogrish was found showing a cat in a box being torched, YTMND white-knighted their way to the top to get the video and creator destroyed, while ignoring the other less-important videos of human torture and death. Along the lines someone made a YTMND site featuring a play-by-play of the video, complete with Doom music in the background. An outraged catlady claimed that not even Doom music made this funny. NEDM. Thus, the new YTMND flavor of the month was born. Various cats were used in sites, but once the exploitable Happycat entered the arena, it was a whole new fad. Happycat is now the official NEDM mascot to this day, with the theme 'We Interrupt this Program' by Coburn. Chap stick is somehow involved
[edit] Rude Kitty
On Myspace, someone attempted to profit off of Happycat with the Rude Kitty line of crap. It involved slapping Happycat on shirts, bags, stickers, and other things with captions worthy of Gaia. Once found, YTMND rushed to the scene once again and managed to get Rude Kitty off the face of the earth. It was a time of grief for Happycat, but he pulled through with help from his gay husband Tom.
[edit] 4Chan
Like any other cat, Happycat will usually show up on Caturday or any other thread about cats. He shares his stardom with friends Longcat, Limecat, Speedycat, Ceilingcat, Zippocat, and the other cats with numbers totaling over 9000
[edit] Everywhere else
For some reason, people thought slapping the phrase I CAN HAS CHEESEBURGER? on Happycat was comedy gold, when in reality, is a load of comedy pyrite at the least. With Lolcats gaining notoriety, we can only hope the general populace doesn't destroy Happycat, lest he ends up losing meme status to fags who act like they're the first ever to find it
[edit] Death of Happycat
Happycat, or Frank, last Thursday, November 16th, at the age of 13.
