• What is the story behind the ''Cat'' image?

Before i start id like to say that i'm not making this thread to start a massive fuck up or want to get banned. I have been wondering since before and after i registered on Facepunch what the story is all about with that cat image which always results in the poster getting banned. Why is it so known on the forum and makes those who post it automatically stupid and just being banned? :) <3
I believe it all started because somebody took a picture of their cat for the post your pet(s) thread, then people started posting it in a older LMAO pics thread. Because the image is so big people get annoyed by it real fast. After a while so many posted it that the mods got sick of it and decided to ban everyone posting that cat on sight. Please correct me if I'm wrong. This is what I've heard.
Basically it's a ban magnet. Kind of a taboo if you will.
Posting it in Lmao pics gets you a free rust key, most people are angry about it though since they had to pay for their key so they'll probably rate you dumb.
Dat Cat is funny to me because I always imagine some young kid shoving his camera to the cat's face, and then shooting the flash up from real close. :v: The cat must have been all like "The fuck is my master doing?" at the time of taking.

some guy posted it twice in LMAO pics and he got banned for the reason "stop posting that cat" so other users joined in and got permabanned, and the ball's been rolling ever since
Which cat? There's a lot of cat images on this forum so you'd need to show us which one you mean, sorry.
I think it started with doom64hunter telling people to post a picture of that cat in the lmao pics thread and buy gold to get a free copy of rust. [URL="http://i.imgur.com/5lEia0p.jpg"]This was the aftermath.[/URL]
The “that cat” meme started on the “LMAO Pics V. 76: Idiot Man-Babies Arguing About Thread Titles” thread on popular forum Facepunch. It started a little earlier than that, but “LMAO Pics V. 76” is where the meme started. It started becoming a meme when facepunch user kubakabana was banned for posting the cat more than once. The ban reason: (User was banned for this post (“Stop posting that cat.” – Pascall)) the name “that cat” caught on on the post right below it made by the user hgncommand. After quoting the picture, he wrote “that cat” and it was the name of that picture from that day forward. On the next page, user funion posted the “that cat” picture and was first banned by mod Asaratha, and then perma-banned by mod Gurant. this started the ball rolling for scattered posts of that cat by brave users. The punishment for posting it was being perma-banned. “that cat” was photoshoped into many other different memes and is still being posted to this day.
