Ceiling Cat watches over CNET.co.uk
We at CNET.co.uk are enthusiasts, fond of many things: technology, music, cars, coffee, midgets. But there's one more we all adore -- especially me -- and that, ladies and gentlemen, is lolcats.
Many of you will be familiar with icanhascheezburger.com, and many of us here check its feed before anything else in the morning. So when we stumbled upon a template that enabled us to make our own Ceiling Cat for the office, we had to get cuttin' and stickin'. Isn't that what company time is for?
For those of you who don't know what the bloody hell Ceiling Cat is, allow me to explain. Ceiling Cat is a cat that pokes his head through holes in any ceiling. He watches you. He judges you. One day, he may even end you.
But seriously, Ceiling Cat is just one of many recurring lolcat themes, and one of the most popular. To celebrate not only our love for lolcats, but for how much work-disrupting laughter they've brought us, we installed a ceiling cat of our very own to watch over the CNET team.
Click the pictures for larger views, and check Wikipedia's lolcat entry if this entire article is an utter mystery to you. Many thanks to Tubby Paws for creating the Ceiling Cat template.

It's probably just me, but, um.. I think Ceiling Cat kind of looks more like Ceiling Squirrel. Sorry, Ceiling Cat.
