Nyan Cat
Nyan Cat is the name of a YouTube video,
uploaded in April 2011, which became an Internet meme. The video merged a Japanese pop song with an
animated cartoon cat with the body of a Pop-Tart, flying through space, and leaving a rainbow trail
behind it. The video ranked at number 5 on the list of most viewed YouTube videos in 2011. The
Japanese word for the sound cats make, "nyan", is the equivalent of the English language word
"meow".
