Longcat is one of the most recognized cats on the Internet. He is known for his epic length, spawning photoshops and even an entire mythology around his magnitude.
The original photo of Longcat, whose name is Shiroi (白い – “white” in Japanese) or Nobiko, first appeared on Futaba channel (2chan) sometime between 2004 and 2005 by a man from Japan . On 2chan, she was referred to as "nobiiru" , which means "stretch." Variations of this included "nobiiru-tan," which was attributed to 2chan's /27/ board as early as February 2nd, 2006. Longcat was first added to Urban Dictionary on September 16th, 2006, attributing the name to 4chan's random board, /b/. One of the earliest archived 4chan threads using several comments to emphasize the length of Longcat dates back to July 24th, 2007
