Reddit Cat ($rcat) community is growing

Have you ever seen the Reddit Cat? 🐈‍⬛ It lives hidden in Reddit’s backend, showing up whenever you land on an unavailable page.

Here’s the crazy part: in the actual Reddit code, the cat is literally labeled as a meme. That means a secret cat meme has been sitting in the system for years, unnoticed by almost everyone.

It feels like the perfect meme for the Reddit community. It’s organic, it’s funny, it has history – and now people are finally bringing it to life.

Today, Reddit Cat has become more than just an Easter egg. There’s a community building around it, fully CTO’d, constantly creating new art, sharing memes, and keeping the vibe alive 24/7. The culture feels authentic – not forced – and that’s rare.

What I love most is the lore: a hidden meme, buried inside Reddit’s own code, now turned into something living, breathing, and cultural. Sometimes the best memes aren’t created – they’re discovered.
