Born with Italian-Swedish roots on January 10th, 2022, Pudgy Cat is merrily meandering through the landscapes of entertainment, occasionally slipping through the odd quantum cat door along the way.
Welcome aboard, and remember: here, curiosity truly meets cats.

Reading Pudgy Cat
Pudgy Cat is an independent, English-language blog about cats, internet culture and the odd connections between everyday life, science and entertainment. The cat is our editorial character, not a veterinary or academic credential.
For a route into the archive, begin with the history of cat memes, the cat distribution system or the research on cats recognising their names.
Sources, AI and corrections
AI tools assist with research, drafting, editing and some illustrations. Generated wording is not a source. Our editorial standard is to link factual claims to material readers can inspect, prefer original research and first-hand accounts where available, and distinguish findings from interpretations and jokes.
For science stories, the experiment’s limits matter as much as its headline. For internet history, a surviving early post is not automatically proof of the first use anywhere. Illustrations can set the mood without serving as documentary evidence.
When a substantive correction is needed, we update the article and explain the change. A publication date records the original article; a review or update note records later work. Older articles are part of an evolving archive and may need further corrections. Animal-behaviour articles explain sources for general readers and do not provide an individual veterinary assessment.
