"Nyan nyan nyan nyan nyan nyan nyan nyan nyan nyan nyan nyan nyan nyan nyan"

Have you listened to this Nyan Cat song before? Nyan Cat is a YouTube video uploaded in April 2011, which became an internet meme. This video is one of the top five most viewed videos on YouTube. The video merged with a Japanese pop song with an animated cartoon cat with Pop-Tart for a torso flying through space and leaving a rainbow trail behind.



The story of "Nyan Cat" Christopher Torres created the GIF, in which he paired a cat with a Pop Tart and a rainbow trail. He gave it the name of his work, "Pop Tart Cat." The inspiration for the design of "Pop Tart Cat" was his cat Marty, who crossed the Rainbow Bridge but lives on in spirit.

Later, a Youtuber added a track from Japan to the GIF and uploaded the video as "Nyan Cat". With the "Nyannyannyan" brainwashing lyrics accompanied by the GIF, this song became viral and gained a lot of attention from the public.


"Nyan" is the Japanese word for "meow."

Try playing this song to your lovely cat at home; see whether they will "meow" together!
