BRIDE OF TUBCAT!!!

Tubcat (aka "Tulle") is not only the first namecat but also the first cat-related internet phenomenon on record. Upon seeing Tubcat's astounding girth, many netizens cried foul, claiming that such a monstrosity could not be the product of man and therefore must be the product of Photoshop. Sadly, they were mistaken; the most famous picture of Tubcat is actually one that appeared in US Weekly way back in 2001 when anyone still read that shit.

Before LOLcats, before Longcat or Ceiling Cat and before the meme-vomiting 4chan imageboard (circa 2003) even existed, Tubcat was already hard at work making internet great. In 2002, Tubcat captured the hearts and minds of teens and preteens alike. With phonetic spelling, poor grammar and the aggressive abuse of netspeak, the website that started it all was written to parody the stereotypical OTI writing style of 16-year-old girls . Since the site was written before MySpace (2003) and other customizable Web 2.0 sites existed, it originally served more as a parody of sites hosted on Geocities or some other free webhost.

The diabetes-afflicted Tubcat met the reaper in 2008 at the ripe old age of 13 and the ripe round weight of 43 pounds. Although there was - and still is - only one Tubcat, there are many other tubby cats that have fallen into the tubes; some people also call these fine felines "tubcats".

Not to be confused with fat cats, the corporate scumbags that everyone loves to hate, nor with Tubgirl, which is something else entirely.

A Brief History

“	Tubcat became an Internet sensation in 2002 and was touted as the fattest kitty ever...Tubcat's picture initially appeared in US Weekly, p. 96, on October 1, 2001. The cat's real name is Tulle and the 12-year-old girl holding him is [Tabitha] Pedersen. They're from Denmark, and Tulle was 6 years old and 43 lbs when the picture was taken (only 4 lbs less than Himmy). Tulle hit 19.2 kilos, but died of diabetes (and may have had heart problems), a common side-effect of obesity, in January 2008.	„
—Sarah Hartwell, on freak cats.

Animal Cruelty

Tubcat is literally off the scale

Some animal-rights supporters and veterinarians argue that overfeeding a cat to the point that it becomes grotesquely obese constitutes animal cruelty. Others argue that CHUBBY KITTIEZ ARE SOoOoOoO CUTE!!!1 Guess which group spends more time on the internet?

	“	i too wish for TUBCAT a lng and happy life!!! pls don't say i am cruel i just love this fat pussy k\ittie!!! okay?! no more hate male!	„
	—Tubcatgirl

Tulle in the News

Since nothing notable happens in Norway, Sweden or Denmark, Tulle was all over the local news there, even before Tubcat.com existed.

• August 29, 2001: Tubcat can only roll (shitty translation from Danish) BALEETED
  • Tulle is sleepy, lazy and fat... When he rolls around on the floor, he can easily be confused with a beanbag chair... Motion is excluded. He is not able to waddle. Tulle can only roll.

• January 6, 2008: World's fattest cat is dead (shitty translation from Swedish)
  • We put him on a diet, and then he became a little slimmer. But his kidney problems were getting worse and he started to smell bad. Finally, we killed him.

Tubcat Around the World!

From humble Danish origins, Tubcat has grown into an international phenomenon. Tubcat is loved not only in Denmark and Sweden, but also in:

• France
  • Tubcat: Gros mais beau! (translation)
  • French comic (partial translation)
• Spain/Mexico/South America
  • ¡¡¡SEÑORAS Y SEÑORES, CON TODOS USTEDEEESS...EL GATO MÁS GORDO DEL MUNDO!!! (shitty translation)
• Japan
  • Which one to look at? Should I "sprout" to a thing to see in the arms of this girl or should I be surprised at this enormous object? (abysmal translation)

Tubcat on TOW

In spite of it being legitimately created twice and in spite of the third revision earning a solid Keep after its first AfD, the Nazis at Wikipedia refused to allow there to be an article on Tubcat. Purportedly, he "obviously fails WP:V" and has "no coverage in reliable sources".

	“	Delete another of literally hundreds of funny/cute cat pictures people pass around on forums. Nowhere near WP:WEB, and we should all be ashamed of ourselves for having kept this last time.	„
	—Andrew Lenahan aka Starblind, a TOW admin and "artist" who is asking for it hard
