http.cat author here.
A shout out to Tomomi Imura, because HTTP Status Cats was her idea and I just made the images available through an API.
It's crazy to think that since 2010 this still pops up on the HN front page from time to time. Thank you for that!
http.cat is a testament of how simple, fun and silly the internet was back then. I'll try to keep it online for as long as I can.
I love reading the stories you all share online about it, they fuel my motivation to keep it up and I'm always open to feedback and new ideas. So feel free to share them here or on the github repo.
Cheers!
- pandler 8mo agoThanks for keeping that service up and running! I think it’s been about 10 years since I found it and it’s been my go-to reference ever since. I’ll often get laughs from people when I share it as reference.
- danielodievich 8mo agoIt is my favorite http resource. I pull it up during troubleshooting conference calls for inevitable lightening of mood. +1000 karma to you
- ashikns 8mo agoI discovered it today and I'm in love! Thank you for maintaining a piece of simple joy for more than a decade <3
- grelek 8mo agoAnytime I need to check an HTTP status code I go to http.cat. I get the answer to my question and a cat picture as a bonus.

- geostyx 8mo agoI've used http.cat for years to double check what an http code is for. Thank you both for making it!
- tomwphillips 8mo agoThank you, and please keep it online. Apparently I am incapable of remembering HTTP status codes and I always go straight to http.cat!
