kitteh

Cute furry companion

Kitteh is internet slang for cat, originating from the LOLcats meme culture of the mid-2000s.

The deliberate misspelling mimics how a cat might "speak" in broken English: I can has cheezburger?

The term carries affectionate, playful connotations and signals familiarity with online humor: Look at this adorable kitteh.
