Icanhascheezburger has unearthed what may be the very first LOL cats image in recorded history, dating back to 1905:

The differences are clear. Proper grammar and a more formal tone was in vogue back then. But the similarities to modern-day kitten struggles and lolcats are amazing. ALL CAPS is still cool, but most importantly, she also no can has cheezburger. More than a hundred years later, all that’s changed is the spelling.

    Hi Skeezix, We see that they got the kitties to dress up years ago. The old photo was cute and interesting. Your good pal, Bosco.

    That kitty is adorable – just like the ones on LOL today. I think Skeez had something to do with the change in how things are spelled!
