The First Youtube Cat
Okay, so I need to figure out who the "First YouTube Cat" is. Let me start by recalling what I know. I remember hearing about a cat named Grumpy Cat who became really famous on YouTube. But wait, was Grumpy Cat the first? Maybe there were cats before her. Let me think.

I think the term "First YouTube Cat" might refer to the very first cat video uploaded on YouTube. But that's different from the first cat that became a star. The first cat video on YouTube... I think that's "The Law of the Cat" from 2007. It's a video where a cat swats a bug, and it's been up for a long time. But Grumpy Cat came out in 2012 and became a meme. So maybe the answer depends on whether we're talking about the first cat video or the first cat that became a viral sensation.
Wait, there's also the possibility of someone claiming Grumpy Cat as the first, but I should check. Let me verify. The first cat video on YouTube is indeed "The Law of the Cat" from 2007, created by a user named "julieandmark." But Grumpy Cat, a calico cat with a grumpy expression, became famous in 2012 through a video called "Grumpy Cat Meme." She went viral and became an internet sensation. So maybe the answer is that Grumpy Cat is considered the first YouTube cat that went viral, while the first cat video is older.
But the question is phrased as "The First YouTube Cat." So maybe the user is referring to Grumpy Cat. However, I should make sure there aren't other contenders. For example, there was a cat named Schrödinger's Cat, but that's a different context. Or maybe the first cat with a channel? Grumpy Cat had a channel with millions of subscribers. But again, the first cat video is older.
Alternatively, maybe the first cat to have a dedicated YouTube channel? Let me check. Grumpy Cat's channel was created in 2012, but there might have been earlier cat channels. For example, "Cats on YouTube" has been around since the early 2000s, but those are compilations, not a specific cat. There's also a cat named Squeezie, but I'm not sure about the timeline.
Wait, another angle: the first cat to achieve a certain milestone, like the most views. The first cat video "The Law of the Cat" has over 100 million views, but Grumpy Cat's videos have even more. However, the question is about the "First YouTube Cat," not the most views.
Alternatively, maybe the first cat that started a trend, like the "Grumpy Cat" meme. That's possible. So in that sense, Grumpy Cat is often cited as the first YouTube cat that went viral and created a lasting meme. But I should also mention that there were earlier cat videos, but Grumpy Cat was the one that really broke through.
Another point: Grumpy Cat's face became a meme, with her expression being used in various contexts. That might be what the question is referring to. So putting it all together, the answer would be that Grumpy Cat is widely recognized as the first YouTube cat to achieve viral fame, despite earlier cat videos existing. However, if the question is about the first cat video ever on YouTube, that's "The Law of the Cat."
I need to make sure I'm not conflating the two. The user might be asking about the cat that started the trend of cats becoming internet sensations on YouTube, which would be Grumpy Cat. But to be thorough, I should mention both the first cat video and Grumpy Cat's significance.
The "First YouTube Cat" can refer to two distinct milestones:
The First Cat Video on YouTube:
The earliest notable cat video uploaded to YouTube is "The Law of the Cat" (2007), created by user julieandmark. It features a cat swatting at a bug and has over 100 million views. This video is widely recognized as the first to gain significant attention for a cat-centric content.
The First Viral YouTube Cat Star:
Grumpy Cat (a calico cat with a permanent frown) became the first cat to achieve global viral fame on YouTube in 2012. Her videos, like "Grumpy Cat Meme", went viral due to her expressive face, leading to millions of views, a dedicated YouTube channel, and a lasting internet meme. While earlier cat content existed, Grumpy Cat’s influence as a cultural icon solidified her status as the "first YouTube cat" in terms of mainstream internet sensation.
In summary:
First cat video: "The Law of the Cat" (2007).
First viral cat star: Grumpy Cat (2012).
Grumpy Cat’s legacy as a meme and symbol of internet culture is what often comes to mind when discussing the "first YouTube cat," though the distinction depends on context.
