彩虹貓Nyan CatYouTube網絡爆紅短片角色彩虹貓的角色形象首次登場LOL-Comics[1]创作者prguitarman角色设定信息物種貓
彩虹貓（英語：Nyan Cat）是一部影片，於2011年4月上传至影片分享網站YouTube。影片内容为一只卡通猫咪飞翔在宇宙中，身后拖著一条彩虹，并且配上了UTAU虛擬歌手桃音モモ所演唱的背景音乐。影片上傳之後迅速在网络上爆红，在2011年YouTube浏览次數排行中排名第五[2]。
来源[编辑]
彩虹貓的动画[编辑]
彩虹貓的GIF动画在2011年4月2日发表于创作者prguitarman的个人主页LOL-Comics之上[1]，创作之初是为了用于募捐。當記者問到托雷斯在動畫的想法來源時，他解釋說：「當我要在我的直播視頻聊天頻道為紅十字會募捐作圖時，有兩個不同的人告訴我，我應該畫一個『Pop Tart餅乾』和『貓咪』[註 1]。」對此，他創造了一個餅乾和一隻貓的混合圖像，並花了幾天做成一個Gif動畫[3]。彩虹貓的設計受到托雷斯寵物貓馬蒂的影響，不過令人遺憾的是牠在2012年因為貓傳染性腹膜炎而過世[4][5]。
背景音乐[编辑]
2011年1月由もももも录制的《喵喵喵喵喵喵喵！》的片段摘录
最原始的歌曲名稱叫做《喵喵喵喵喵喵喵！》[註 2]是一位ID叫做daniwell的用户[6]在2010年7月25日上傳到日本知名影片社群網站Niconico動畫中的[7]。這首歌採用了VOCALOID初音未來（初音ミク）的語音合成。其中日語詞彙“nyā”（にゃ）是貓叫聲的拟声词，相當於漢語中的“喵”或英文中的“meow”[2]。此曲後於世嘉的《初音未來 -名伶計畫- f》遊戲中收錄。
Niconico動畫用户もももも使用UTAU软件合成音源桃音モモ制作了歌曲翻唱版[8][9]，在2011年1月31日发布在Niconico動畫上，其聲音來源是日本東京的藤本萌萌子（藤本萌々子）[10]。
YouTube 影片[编辑]
一名YouTube用戶「saraj00n」（本名Sara）[11]將彩虹貓的Gif動畫與もももも翻唱的《喵喵喵喵喵喵喵！》[註 2]合併成一部影片，並於2011年4月5日上傳到了YouTube上面，托雷斯在三天後，也上傳了他的動畫，給它的標題是“彩虹貓”[2][3]。該影片在登上G4和CollegeHumor節目的網站上之後迅速爆紅，克里斯托弗·托雷斯說：「原本她的名字叫做果醬餡餅貓，我也一直都這樣稱呼牠，但網路上許多人都稱牠彩虹貓，我也非常喜歡這個名字[註 3]。」[3]。
流行[编辑]
彩虹貓的影片在2011年4月商業內幕發表的《前十大爆紅短片》排名第九，擁有720萬的點閱率[12]。截至2021年9月5日，彩虹貓的影片在YouTube上的觀看次數已有一億九千一百一十萬零五次。由於它的流行，很多新的混音和翻唱作品也陸續出現，有些甚至長達好幾個小時，甚至在Windows[13]、iPhone、iPad[14]、Symbian[15]、Android[16]、Windows Phone[17]以及HP webOS[18]等作業系統及裝置上都出了鈴聲、桌布和其他相關應用程式，也有不少彩虹貓題材遊戲[19]，例如：由21街遊戲（英语：21st Street Games）發行的《彩虹貓歷險記》遊戲，而且還得到彩虹貓的官方授權[11][20]。2014年1月還推出使用域名nyanco.in的加密貨幣——彩虹貓幣（Nyancoin），也是一個彩虹貓官方授權的物品[21]。
克里斯托弗·托雷斯批評nyan.cat網站原本以草莓餡餅pop tart為特色的貓卻被看起來像吐司切片的東西給取代了[12]，連背景音樂都一模一樣。網站所使用的頂級域名「.cat」被托雷斯形容為是抄襲的[22][23]。2012年開始，nyan.cat網站改由彩虹貓的原作者——托雷斯經營，以呈現彩虹貓原汁原味的版本[11]。
Android 4.0的彩蛋則採用了類似彩虹猫的動畫。
电脑病毒MEMZ则在病毒发作阶段无限循环彩虹猫视频[24]。
專輯《彩虹貓》[编辑]
Nyan CatdaniwellP feat. 初音未來、桃音モモ的录音室专辑发行日期2012年2月1日时长75分42秒唱片公司EXIT TUNES排行榜最高名次
週間40位（公信榜）
專輯《彩虹貓》是由EXIT TUNES發行的daniwellP首張專輯。其規格產品編號為QWCE-00205，由波麗佳音代理。專輯中收錄了Momoon桃和初音未來版本的《喵喵喵喵喵喵喵！》，其中Momoon桃版歌曲名稱為《彩虹貓》[25]。
爭議[编辑]
彩虹貓除了流行於網路之外也出現過許多爭議，比如彩虹貓也經常被拿來當作惡搞的主題[26]。比較大的爭議就是曾經因臨時DMCA刪除還有相關訴訟。
臨時DMCA刪除[编辑]
2011年6月27日，原始的YouTube視頻出現了一個自稱是prguitarman（即彩虹貓GIF動畫的創造者）利用數字千年版權法投訴使得彩虹貓被迫從網站上被撤下。但克里斯托弗·托雷斯也立即在他本人prguitarman的個人主頁LOL-Comics上否認他是投訴的來源聲明，並聯繫影片和歌曲版權所有人Saraj00n和daniwell，對此投訴於YouTube提出申訴。在此期間，彩虹貓的影片無法觀看，由於許多人不清楚事情的來由，誤以為此版權投訴是克里斯托弗·托雷斯本人的所作所為，也因此導致托雷斯收到了無數的抱怨甚至是謾罵郵件。2011年6月28日，彩虹貓視頻在YouTube上解除封鎖[27]。
訴訟[编辑]
2013年5月，由於涂鸦冒险家系列電子遊戲部分人物的外觀與彩虹貓和彈電子琴的貓十分神似，因此彩虹貓與彈電子琴的貓的作者——克里斯托弗·托雷斯有和查爾斯·施密特以版權侵權和商標侵權聯合對5th Cell（英语：5th Cell）和華納兄弟提出告訴。托雷斯和施密特已經註冊了自己角色的版權，也提出了註冊商標的申請[28][29]。托雷斯發表聲明表示他曾試圖獲得5th Cell（英语：5th Cell）和華納兄弟用於商業用途性質的補償，但多次被“不尊重和無視”[30][31]。該訴訟在2013年9月判決出爐，5th Cell（英语：5th Cell）和華納兄弟要賠償所使用角色的版權費[32]。

彩虹猫Nyan CatYouTube网络爆红短片角色彩虹猫的角色形象首次登场LOL-Comics[1]创作者prguitarman角色设定信息物种猫
彩虹猫（英语：Nyan Cat）是一部影片，于2011年4月上传至影片分享网站YouTube。影片内容为一只卡通猫咪飞翔在宇宙中，身后拖着一条彩虹，并且配上了UTAU虚拟歌手桃音モモ所演唱的背景音乐。影片上传之后迅速在网络上爆红，在2011年YouTube浏览次数排行中排名第五[2]。

彩虹猫的动画[编辑]
彩虹猫的GIF动画在2011年4月2日发表于创作者prguitarman的个人主页LOL-Comics之上[1]，创作之初是为了用于募捐。当记者问到托雷斯在动画的想法来源时，他解释说：“当我要在我的直播视频聊天频道为红十字会募捐作图时，有两个不同的人告诉我，我应该画一个‘Pop Tart饼干’和‘猫咪’[注 1]。”对此，他创造了一个饼乾和一只猫的混合图像，并花了几天做成一个Gif动画[3]。彩虹猫的设计受到托雷斯宠物猫马蒂的影响，不过令人遗憾的是它在2012年因为猫传染性腹膜炎而过世[4][5]。
背景音乐[编辑]
2011年1月由もももも录制的《喵喵喵喵喵喵喵！》的片段摘录
最原始的歌曲名称叫做《喵喵喵喵喵喵喵！》[注 2]是一位ID叫做daniwell的用户[6]在2010年7月25日上传到日本知名影片社交网站Niconico动画中的[7]。这首歌采用了VOCALOID初音未来（初音ミク）的语音合成。其中日语词汇“nyā”（にゃ）是猫叫声的拟声词，相当于汉语中的“喵”或英文中的“meow”[2]。此曲后于世嘉的《初音未來 -歌姬计划- f》游戏中收录。
Niconico动画用户もももも使用UTAU软件合成音源桃音モモ制作了歌曲翻唱版[8][9]，在2011年1月31日发布在Niconico动画上，其声音来源是日本东京的藤本萌萌子（藤本萌々子）[10]。
YouTube 影片[编辑]
一名YouTube用户“saraj00n”（本名Sara）[11]将彩虹猫的Gif动画与もももも翻唱的《喵喵喵喵喵喵喵！》[注 2]合并成一部影片，并于2011年4月5日上传到了YouTube上面，托雷斯在三天后，也上传了他的动画，给它的标题是“彩虹猫”[2][3]。该影片在登上G4和CollegeHumor节目的网站上之后迅速爆红，克里斯托弗·托雷斯说：“原本她的名字叫做果酱馅饼猫，我也一直都这样称呼它，但网络上许多人都称它彩虹猫，我也非常喜欢这个名字[注 3]。”[3]。
流行[编辑]
彩虹猫的影片在2011年4月商业内幕发表的《前十大爆红短片》排名第九，拥有720万的点阅率[12]。截至2021年9月5日，彩虹猫的影片在YouTube上的观看次数已有一亿九千一百一十万零五次。由于它的流行，很多新的混音和翻唱作品也陆续出现，有些甚至长达好几个小时，甚至在Windows[13]、iPhone、iPad[14]、Symbian[15]、Android[16]、Windows Phone[17]以及HP webOS[18]等操作系统及设备上都出了铃声、壁纸和其他相关应用程序，也有不少彩虹猫题材游戏[19]，例如：由21街游戏（英语：21st Street Games）发行的《彩虹猫历险记》游戏，而且还得到彩虹猫的官方授权[11][20]。2014年1月还推出使用域名nyanco.in的加密货币——彩虹猫币（Nyancoin），也是一个彩虹猫官方授权的物品[21]。
克里斯托弗·托雷斯批评nyan.cat网站原本以草莓馅饼pop tart为特色的猫却被看起来像吐司切片的东西给取代了[12]，连背景音乐都一模一样。网站所使用的顶级域名“.cat”被托雷斯形容为是抄袭的[22][23]。2012年开始，nyan.cat网站改由彩虹猫的原作者——托雷斯经营，以呈现彩虹猫原汁原味的版本[11]。
Android 4.0的彩蛋则采用了类似彩虹猫的动画。
电脑病毒MEMZ则在病毒发作阶段无限循环彩虹猫视频[24]。

专辑《彩虹猫》是由EXIT TUNES发行的daniwellP首张专辑。其规格产品编号为QWCE-00205，由波丽佳音代理。专辑中收录了Momoon桃和初音未来版本的《喵喵喵喵喵喵喵！》，其中Momoon桃版歌曲名称为《彩虹猫》[25]。
争议[编辑]
彩虹猫除了流行于网络之外也出现过许多争议，比如彩虹猫也经常被拿来当作恶搞的主题[26]。比较大的争议就是曾经因临时DMCA删除还有相关诉讼。
临时DMCA删除[编辑]
2011年6月27日，原始的YouTube视频出现了一个自称是prguitarman（即彩虹猫GIF动画的创造者）利用数字千年著作权法投诉使得彩虹猫被迫从网站上被撤下。但克里斯托弗·托雷斯也立即在他本人prguitarman的个人主页LOL-Comics上否认他是投诉的来源声明，并联系影片和歌曲著作权所有人Saraj00n和daniwell，对此投诉于YouTube提出申诉。在此期间，彩虹猫的影片无法观看，由于许多人不清楚事情的来由，误以为此著作权投诉是克里斯托弗·托雷斯本人的所作所为，也因此导致托雷斯收到了无数的抱怨甚至是谩骂邮件。2011年6月28日，彩虹猫视频在YouTube上解除屏蔽[27]。
诉讼[编辑]
2013年5月，由于涂鸦冒险家系列电子游戏部分人物的外观与彩虹猫和弹电子琴的猫十分神似，因此彩虹猫与弹电子琴的猫的作者——克里斯托弗·托雷斯有和查尔斯·施密特以著作权侵权和商标侵权联合对5th Cell（英语：5th Cell）和华纳兄弟提出告诉。托雷斯和施密特已经注册了自己角色的著作权，也提出了注册商标的申请[28][29]。托雷斯发表声明表示他曾试图获得5th Cell（英语：5th Cell）和华纳兄弟用于商业用途性质的补偿，但多次被“不尊重和无视”[30][31]。该诉讼在2013年9月判决出炉，5th Cell（英语：5th Cell）和华纳兄弟要赔偿所使用角色的著作权费[32]。

2011 Internet meme
Nyan Cat
Nyan Cat is a YouTube video uploaded in April 2011, which became an internet meme. The video merged a Japanese pop song with an animated cartoon cat with a Pop-Tart for a torso flying through space and leaving a rainbow trail behind. The video ranked at number five on the list of most viewed YouTube videos in 2011.[1]
Origin
Animated GIF
Original Nyan Cat doodle
On April 2, 2011, the GIF animation of the cat was posted by 25-year-old Christopher Torres of Dallas, Texas, who uses the name "prguitarman", on his website LOL-Comics.[2] Torres explained in an interview where the idea for the animation came from: "I was doing a donation drive for the Red Cross and in-between drawings in my Livestream video chat, two different people mentioned I should draw a 'Pop Tart' and a 'cat'." In response, he created a hybrid image of a Pop-Tart and a cat, which was developed a few days later into the animated GIF.[3]
Nyan Cat was based on a real cat: Torres' pet cat Marty, who died in November 2012 from feline infectious peritonitis.[4][5]
Song
The original version of the song "Nyanyanyanyanyanyanya!" was uploaded by user "daniwell"[6] to the Japanese video site Niconico on July 25, 2010.[7] The song features the Vocaloid virtual singer Hatsune Miku. The Japanese word nya (にゃ) (wikt:にゃん) is onomatopoeic, imitating the call of a cat (equivalent to English "meow").[1] The song was later included in the rhythm game Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA F, released by Sega in August 2012.[8]
On January 30, 2011, a user named "Momomomo" uploaded a cover of "Nyanyanyanyanyanyanya!" featuring the UTAU voice Momone Momo.[9][10] The voice source used to create the Momone Momo voice was a Japanese woman named Momoko Fujimoto.[11]
YouTube video
YouTube user "saraj00n" (whose real name is Sara June)[12] combined the cat animation with the "Momomomo" version of the song "Nyanyanyanyanyanyanya!", and uploaded it to YouTube on April 5, 2011, three days after Torres had uploaded his animation, giving it the title "Nyan Cat".[1][3] The video rapidly became a success after being featured on websites including G4 and CollegeHumor. Christopher Torres said: "Originally, its name was Pop Tart Cat, and I will continue to call it so, but the Internet has reached a decision to name it Nyan Cat, and I'm happy with that choice, too."[3]
In March 2019, ownership of the YouTube channel hosting the original Nyan Cat video was transferred to Means TV, a worker-owned video streaming service.[13]
In November 2023, the original Nyan Cat video ceased to be available on the saraj00n YouTube channel, and its new location was given as the YouTube channel NyanCat.[14] On November 6, 2023, saraj00n uploaded a video calling for a ceasefire in the 2023 Israel–Hamas war.[15]
Sale as an NFT
In February 2021, it was reported that the GIF's original creator, Chris Torres, had created an updated version and sold it as a non-fungible token (NFT) for 300 ether, the equivalent of US$587,000 at the time of sale.[16]
Reception
The Nyan Cat music video reached ninth place in Business Insider's top ten viral videos of April 2011, with 7.2 million total views.[17] The original YouTube video has received 205 million views as of May 3, 2023[update]. Nyan Cat won a Webby Award in 2012 for "Meme of the Year".[18]
Due to the video's popularity, many new remixes and cover versions have been made, some several hours long. There are also ringtones, wallpapers and applications created for operating systems and devices, including a progress bar substitute for Windows which would show up in various places such as the file transfer progress indicator in Windows Explorer, following a request on the subreddit "Somebody Make This".[19][20][21] Video games were developed for iPhone, iPad,[22] Symbian,[23] Android,[24] Windows Phone,[25] and HP webOS,[26] and a variety of flash games such as "Snake" replicas using the cat's rainbow tail.[27] "Nyan Cat Adventure", by 21st Street Games, is an officially licensed game.[12][28] An officially licensed cryptocurrency entitled "Nyancoin" with the domain name nyanco.in (later nyan-coin.org) was launched in January 2014.[29]
Website
Christopher Torres initially criticized the website www.nyan.cat, which originally featured a similar-looking cat with the pop tart replaced by a slice of toast,[30] and the same background music. The site, which uses the .cat sponsored top-level domain, was described by Torres as "plagiarized".[31][32] Since 2012 the website has been operated by Torres, and shows the authentic version of the cat.[12]
Temporary DMCA takedown
This section possibly contains original research. Please improve it by verifying the claims made and adding inline citations. Statements consisting only of original research should be removed. (April 2023) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
On June 27, 2011, the original YouTube video was taken down from the site following a Digital Millennium Copyright Act complaint from someone claiming to be Torres. Torres immediately issued a statement on his website LOL-comics denying that he was the source of the complaint, and contacted Saraj00n and daniwell, who hold the copyright for the video and the song, in order to file a counter-complaint to YouTube. During the period that the video was unavailable for viewing, Torres received numerous abusive e-mails from people who wrongly believed that he had filed the DMCA complaint. On June 28, 2011, the Nyan Cat video was restored to YouTube.[33]
Lawsuit
In May 2013, Christopher Torres and Charles Schmidt, the creators of Nyan Cat and Keyboard Cat respectively, jointly sued 5th Cell and Warner Bros. for copyright infringement and trademark infringement over the appearance of these characters without permission in the Scribblenauts series of video games. Torres and Schmidt have registered copyrights on their characters and have pending trademark applications on the names.[34][35] Torres released a statement saying that he had tried to obtain compensation from 5th Cell and Warner Bros. for commercial use of the character, but was "disrespected and snubbed" multiple times.[36][37] The suit was settled in September 2013, with Torres and Schmidt being paid for the use of the characters.[38]

About
Nyan Cat, also known as Pop Tart Cat, is an 8-bit animation depicting a cat with the body of a cherry Pop-Tart flying through outer space. While absurd themes like flying kittens and pastry cats have been around for some time, the surreal humor behind this particular combination has captivated YouTubers and online art communities, spawning fan illustrations as well as user-interface designs and homebrew games across multiple platforms.
Origin
The Pop-Tart Cat animation was posted on the daily comics site LOL-COMICS[1] run by illustrator Chris Torres, also known as prguitarman, on April 2nd, 2011. The original drawing was based on his own Russian Blue cat, Marty, and was drawn after receiving two separate suggestions for a cat and a pop tart during a Red Cross charity drawing event on Livestream[28]. Prior to the Pop-Tart Cat, prguitarman had already gained a relatively large audience with a few other instances of comics circulating on the web. The GIF animation was also reblogged via Tumblr[2] on April 2nd, 2011, accumulating more than 3,000 notes (likes & reblogs) in its first two weeks:
On April 5th, 2011, YouTuber saraj00n posted a video titled "Nyan Cat"[3] using comic artist prguitarman's Pop-Tart Cat animation set to the well-known Japanese Vocaloid song "Nyanyanyanyanyanyanya" by Japanese artist Daniwell-P looping in the background, Although the song had been originally composed for Hatsune Miku to sing, The version used in the video was of the cover sung by the Utauloid Momo Momone. The video (since privated) gained more than one million views in its first two weeks.
On April 12th, 2011, the official NyanCat YouTube channel then uploaded the version of the animation with "Nyanyanyanyanyanyanya" playing in the background, receiving over 2.4 million views and 19,000 likes in roughly 12 years (seen below).
Spread
On April 10th, the Nyan Cat video was picked up by popular blogs and social networking sites, including Memebase,[4] BuzzFeed, [5] Tumblr [6] and Facebook [7] among others.
On April 12th, the Tosh.0 blog [8] posted the Nyan Cat video, as did CollegeHumor [9] and G4TV.[10] There are several remixes and spinoff variations of the original video circulating on YouTube, many of them customized with alternative characters and background music.
Nyan Cat has been also briefly seen on Sprint's Nexus 4G "Cats" commercial[16], which featured a number of popular cat video clips.
Slipknot's Psychosocial Video
YouTuber xDaZJMx[11] commented on the original Nyan cat video by saraj00n telling viewers to watch Slipknot’s Psychosocial (muted) with the Nyan cat song playing in the background. The comment instructed other YouTubers to play the Nyan Cat video and hardcore rock band Slipknot's "Psychosocial" music video simultaneously in sync, which virtually resulted in a Nyan Cat audio dub (mirror below, left).
xDaZJMx's instruction quickly gained hundreds of likes, was featured as the highest comment, and many users began flooding the Psychosocial video’s comments[12] with Nyans. As of April 26th, 2011, Slipknot's "Psychosocial" music video page on YouTube has over 111,000 comments, with tens of thousands reading "NYANNYANYANYANYANYANYANYANYANYANYANYANYA" (example below, right). This caused confusion among Slipknot listeners, and further spread the Nyan cat meme.

Single-Serving Sites
Nyan.cat[13] was launched on April 13th, 2011, featuring the text "NON-STOP NYAN CAT" and another single serving site Slowbro.org[14] was launched on the next day, featuring a "rainy" version of the original. The flash game version featuring a timer display similar to Nyan.cat was uploaded by Newgrounds[15] user Blind-Bane on April 27th.
Games
Many game developers began to create assorted Nyan Cat games, such as "Nyan Cat Lost in Space,"[23] "Snake Nyan Cat," "Nyanicorn (Robot Unicorn Attack variant)," "Nyan Cat Fly" and more. A site listing all the Nyan Cat games while also hosting one of its own is located at Nyan-Cat.com.[31] Some Nyan Cat games have also been released onto the mobile platform, enabling use on various smartphones. A small tech demo of Nyan Cat that will work on the original Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) has also been created,[27] It currently runs on NES emulators.
Nyan Cat has also been referenced in "Buffalo Bison Revenge"[29]. The game, developed by Juicy Beast Studios[30], uses in-game items, held by gummies, to temporarily benefit the player. One item is a poptart that causes the player to turn into a poptart bison and fly for a few seconds, trailed by a rainbow.
PBS LulzSec Hack
On Sunday, May 29th, the PBS website was hacked by the group "LulzSec", and several of the website properties were defaced with Nyan Cat related images. The group claims the hack was a reaction to the Frontline episode called "Wikisecrets", that some felt was biased against Wikileaks. LulzSec released the following statement explaining the motivations behind the hack:
Greetings, Internets. We just finished watching WikiSecrets and were less than impressed. We decided to sail our Lulz Boat over to the PBS servers for further… perusing. As you should know by now, not even that fancy-ass fortress from the third shitty Pirates of the Caribbean movie (first one was better!) can withhold our barrage of chaos and lulz. Anyway, unnecessary sequels aside… wait, actually: second and third Matrix movies sucked too! Anyway, say hello to the insides of the PBS servers, folks. They best watch where they're sailing next time.[17]
On May 30th, 2011, LulzSec tweeted a link to a pastebin post saying that PBS was not hacked by SQL, but rather a "0day we discovered in mt4 aka MoveableType 4".[18][19]
Nyan Cat Progress Bar
On June 16th, 2011, YouTube enabled a custom flash player for the original Nyan Cat video that showed an animated mini Nyan Cat flying across the progress bar with a rainbow trail. A screenshot was posted to Reddit[21] the same day. On the 5th of July 2011, YouTube made a global update on the video player user interface and to everyone's disappointment the Nyan Cat custom progress bar was permanently removed.
Also quite remarkable are the efforts made by some developers to recreate YouTube's progress bar and integrate it to different operating systems as a fancy replacement for some user interface elements. On June 24th, 2011 InstantElevatorMusic (@instantelevator) released Nyan Cat Progress Bar, a modification for Windows default progress bars.[24]
Also, on the 19th of July 2011, Nikos Lykousas (@dummydev) released NyanSliders for jailbroken Apple devices, a tweak that aims at replacing any slider in iOS with an animating Nyan Cat leaving a rainbow trail, just like the original YouTube progress bar.[25][26]
Copyright Claims
On June 27th, 2011, the original saraj00n video was taken down by YouTube, claiming that they had received a copyright claim to the video from Prguitarman (shown below, left). However, Prguitarman stated on his own site[22] that he did not file any claims, and that he is contacting several people who have contributed in any way to the video to begin filing a counter DMCA to have the video restored (shown below, right).
Funny how someone can easily make a complaint but to actually prove it the owner has to jump through all of these hoops. FUN TIMES! But seriously, there is a lot of work involved here and it’s pretty stressful.
Meanwhile, people are flagging my videos on YouTube and giving me death threats just like upstanding Internet citizens usually do. Good job.
Anyway, I’ve been working at this for about two or three hours and have done the most I can for now. Saraj00n, Daniwell, and YouTube have been contacted and I am just now waiting for each of their replies so we can work on getting the video back up.
On June 28, 2011, YouTube restored the video after having confirmed that Prguitarman had not filed a claim, and restored everything from the original video including the custom Nyan Cat seek bar. However, because of YouTube's interface update on July 5th, the custom seek bar has been removed.
Nyan Cat To-Go Bookmarklet
In July 2011, a New York University student (@blackrabbit) introduced a javascript bookmarklet allowing the browser user to summon Nyan Cat at any time and anywhere online.

Musical Tributes
Marty's Death
On the evening of November 1st, 2012, Chris Torres tweeted out a series of messages, telling the story of Marty's life. In December 2010, he adopted the gray cat along with a brown and white cat he named Buster, after Buster Bluth from the comedy series Arrested Development. Soon after the two were adopted, Buster was diagnosed with Feline infectious peritonitis, a disease that attacks the animal's white blood cells, and passed away soon after. In late October 2012, Marty was diagnosed with the same disease and his condition quickly worsened. At approximately 9 p.m. on November 1st, Marty passed away in Torres' arms. The default animation on Nyan.cat was changed to Sad Nyan Cat, showing the Pop-Tart Cat with his eyes closed and without his rainbow.
Keyboard Cat and Nyan Cat Lawsuit
In April 2013, Chris Torres and Charlie Schmidt, the creator of Keyboard Cat, sued Warner Bros. over unauthorized uses of their copyrighted internet cats in the game Scribblenauts. The lawsuit was settled that September for an undisclosed amount.[33]
Nyan Cat NFT Sale
On February 18th, 2021, Nyan Cat's original creator Chris Torres sold a Nyan Cat NFT on the digital art marketplace Foundation[32] for 300 ETH, about $587,658 at the time, following a 24-hour auction. Shortly after, Torres tweeted his reaction to the sale of the historic meme NFT (seen below).
On February 22nd, 2021, Know Your Meme then interviewed Torres about the NFT and sale where he shared his reaction and thoughts on meme crypto art (shown below).
Interview with Know Your Meme
On February 18th, 2021, Know Your Meme interviewed Chris Torres for the 10-year anniversary of the meme where we retraced the origins and discussed the Nyan Cat NFT just before it was sold (seen below).
2023 Original Nyan Cat YouTube Video Takedown
On November 6th, 2023, the original saraj00n YouTube channel, which first combined the Nyan Cat animation with the "Nyanyanyanyanyanyanya!" song into one video, broke years of silence to post a video supporting the Palestinian cause and calling for a ceasefire in the 2023 Israel-Hamas Conflict. [34] While some online expressed support for the video, others criticized it (examples shown below).[35][36]
In the days following, Torres, the artist who drew the original Nyan Cat, addressed the controversy and then stated on his X / Twitter account that the video was moved to a new channel dedicated to Nyan Cat (seen below).[37]
On November 17th, 2023, Torres then told Know Your Meme in an article covering the controversy:
Regarding the video, in recent years the owner of the channel chose to license out their page to studios unrelated to Nyan Cat. This resulted in a number of unrelated videos appearing on the channel since 2011, causing confusion among fans. To stay true to the original Nyan Cat spirit, we've recently established an official Nyan Cat YouTube page. This step is aimed at making it simpler for fans to locate and enjoy authentic Nyan Cat content. The classic video has found a new home on its official YouTube page.
The saraj00n YouTube[38] channel changed its bio line in response, saying the meme had been "forcibly displaced" (shown below).
