Cats and the Internet go together like fire and kindling — that is to say, they’re “hot.” Consequently, a lot of the more virally famous kitties seem a little, shall we say, “mainstream” for more indie-leaning tastes. Yes, that genre is decidedly choked with saccharine clips and snaps of overly coiffed cats leaping out of boxes, “ninja”-ing around corners and doling out (obviously) rehearsed hugs to their progeny, and although those among the hipster set might tweet a puss for the sake of “irony,” there really hasn’t been a creature worthy of tattooing on one’s arm in the feline oeuvre. Until now. Meet Lil Bub, the super unique perma kitten who lives in a recording studio, hangs with bands and has been spotted emblazoned on totes carried by the denizens of Brooklyn’s most alt trains.
The hack that creates drink recipes from band names, Drinkify, has won the WTF I Love This Award! Now go make a cocktail out of your favorite musician and celebrate! If you’re legal, that is.
