The Poozycat Project exists only to feed
your soul and hopefully brighten your days with a daily parade
of non-AI feline imagery and/or videos six days a week, Monday through Saturday.
On Sundays I watch sports,
eat fatty snax and scratch myself luxuriously. There's nothing for
you to upload here, no obnoxious comments to ignore and definitely no
Liking or Upvoting. Just sit back and enjoy the ride. I got this.
You might have noticed that there is no advertising on The Poozycat Project but I'm not too proud to consider something relevant. If you'd
care to hawk some cat-related item on the Project please contact me at mike@poozycat.com
and we'll do some bidness.

(IMPORTANT UPDATE 2/20/26: The company which bought the Infinite Cat Project back in 2021 appears to have gone out of business, taking the ICP with them. I am following this matter with great interest and am already formulating plans for conquest. For historical purposes I'm leaving the information below unedited until further notice.)
---------
Why The Poozycat Project?
Way back in 2001 I found an image
online of a cat growling at another cat's image in a monitor. I turned
that image into a web site
and thus the Infinite Cat Project was born. The concept proved popular
with cat
lovers and over the ensuing 19 years it grew into a sprawling behemoth.
It grew to encompass art about cats, videos about cats, games featuring
cats,
poetry, comics, music, stories, cat health tips for cat owners, and
anything else about cats I could conceivably squeeze onto a web page.
What happened to the Infinite Cat Project?
Long story short, in 2021 I felt that the site needed someone
to ensure its longevity in these virus-filled times, someone who would
not only grow the concept but improve on its technology. The ICP is now
legally
in
the hands of new owners who, sadly, have completely underwhelmed me with
their utilization of the source material. (The transaction was so rapid
that I didn't have time to say "Goodbye" to all of the visitors
to the ICP, so this site is sort of a "Hello, again!") To
be honest, the new owners obviously acquired the ICP for the multitudinous
backlinks and cared about little else. Color me disparaged.
The Infinite Cat Project may be history but the need to wade hip deep
through the wonderful world of the kittehs retained its strong pull
on my mind and my heart and thus The Poozycat Project was born, a sort of Infinite
Cat Project Lite. It offers the basics of
art, videos,
comics and pictures of cute kitties but the future for
expansion is limitless.
(The Infinite Cat Project yet lives on the Internet Archive. You
can find it here.)
(Note: You can also find a mirror of the Infinite Cats here,
at least for now. You
can click through the cats one-by-one but don't click the "Infinite
Cat"
logo at the
center top as it'll take you to the Internet Archive.)
The one feature I regret that I am unable to offer here are the cat-themed
games. Almost all of the games I featured on the old ICP were Flash-based
and
2020 is the
final year in which Flash files will function in modern browsers. And,
no, there was no sane or semi-legal
way to convert them to acceptable file types. So to those who miss "Stack
the Cats" or "Cat Bowling" you have my deepest condolences.
And if you're wondering about the "poozycat" element of this website's name
it's more than just a reference to cats in general. It's in honor of the
best cat a man could have been owned by, one who crossed her rainbow bridge
in 2015. And so, I present to you the one, the only, "Da Pooz".
