The GeoCities cat

 

 

In the heydays of the web hosting service GeoCities (1990s-2000s), this little critter, a simple tabby cat chasing an insect, was a staple GIF on many of its sites. Sadly the sleepy and active kitty never made the jump to Web 2.0, but is an important footnote in the history of the GIF as a decoration piece.

Never stop chasing your dreams

 

A feel-good GIF for now, where a dog owner who takes care of pooches with different abilities gives them all a chance to have some fun, fresh air and exercise.

Running after that elusive prize

 

On one hand, it’s a cat chasing after a dancing cartoon milk carton, on the other hand, this GIF symbolises us chasing after what keeps us alive, sustained and which fuels our thirst. We spend all our lives perpetually pursing things, dreams, ambitions. An artwork by myself.
