Long o'er us has he stood
Long in body; Long too was his shadow
Long did we shelter in that shadow
Too long, for with his passing,
The long rays of long days
Beat strong against our reddened faces,
Faces longing for those simpler times
Longing to belong, to
Be long enough.

Awaiting his return the long esteems beyond as his sons tear for his avoidance.

R.I.P. LONGCAT

Longcat, Longcat, hanging down,
You deserve a feline crown:
Was it genes or was it food,
Produced thy splendid longitude?

Dangling placid and serene,
Thy form extends beneath the screen:
Scrolling as its length descends,
Makes one feel you'll never end.

Whence arose thy stoic calm,
Hanging there with outstretched arms?
Would you bite or would you purr,
If we rubbed your tummy's fur?

What the secret helped thee grow,
And left thy feet so far below?
Will it always thwart our brain?
Will we see thy like again?

When you flooded 4chan's dreams,
And spurred us on to comfy memes:
Did you smile, your work to see?
Did he who made the Doge make thee?

Longcat, Longcat, hanging down,
You deserve a feline crown:
Was it genes or was it food,
Produced thy splendid longitude?

well done.
now do the other one.

As you go down into the night, I will stroke your back.
My hand travels on your infinite fur, with each passing moment, I can feel it rise ever so slightly. Inch by inch, we part ways.
Soon, all I have left of you is a distant purr, slightly humming from a corner of my mind.
My memory of you may fade, but the happiness you brought me is eternal.
Have no fear, and step into the light.
In the house of God, too, you shall be the longest cat.

>>16409302
Brilliant.

Yesterday upon the stars
I saw a cat lick the sun
'no!' I said, 'cat long, you'll burn!'
But long cat licked on

>>16409302
Great.

Whose paws these are I think I know.
His top is in the heavens though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his paws swing to and fro.

Anyone would think it queer
A coat bright white and torso sheer
Between the ground and Pearly gates
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his fluffy tail a shake
To tell he met a happy fate.
The only other move's the tweak
Of easy feet and downy flake.

The paws are lovely, lithe and sleek,
But long they are from his peak,
And miles to go before they meet,
And miles to go before they meet.

>It's real
no...

God fucking damnit, why?

A French sonnet about long cat

Le secret de ta joie, un poil blanc le cacha
Longtemps à nos yeux polis aux chats tout rond.
Mais tu pris peur, un soir, d’une souris marron,
Et trahis en sautant, ton secret de long chat.

Tes cousins les plus courts se rêvent les pachas
D’imbéciles sujets conquis par leurs ronrons :
Ils ne voient toujours pas qu’un clair et long larron
Dérobait aux chats plats les âmes qu’il toucha.

Ton empire n’avait ni prison ni tyran,
O long chat, notre amour seul en était garant.
Tu es parti hier, aimable zigoto.

Tu es parti jouer au ballon sur la lune
Et cours dans la brume de son halo nocturne.
Chats ronds qui me lisez, allongez-vous plutôt !

Longer than mwah?

>>16412833

There was an error, here is mwah's full height.

End of an era.

It's like part of my childhood innocence died. I've been on this godforsaken website for 15 years of my life. I have been on 4chan longer than I haven't been on 4chan. Fucking kill me.

Kotek

Miauczy kotek: miau!
- Coś ty, kotku, miał?
- Miałem ja miseczkę mleczka,
Teraz pusta jest miseczka,
A jeszcze bym chciał.

Wzdycha kotek: o!
- Co ci, kotku, co?
- Śniła mi się wielka rzeka,
Wielka rzeka, pełna mleka
Aż po samo dno.

Pisnął kotek: pii...
- Pij, koteczku, pij!
Skulił ogon, zmrużył ślipie,
Śpi - i we śnie mleczko chlipie,
Bo znów mu się śni.

Sleep well, longest kot. May you dream forever about sweetest milk.

I call this one...
"feline crown"

Long cat
Looooooooooooooooooooooooooooong
CAT!
Hanging like
that great apocryphal
eschatological
esotericist
lyrical mystical
pendulum

Don't swing'em
He don't like'em

Gentle with the cat, don't let
the time fly

you GOT TO hold the LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG CAT
*GENTLY*

Hold it like
minutes passing by,

a meme from an older time
a gentle long cat
each vertebral segment
far from the others, spaced out.
Socially distant, like
a minute in the hour of
culture...

>>16409302
Very nice

Come, superb cat, to my amorous heart;
Hold back the talons of your paws,
Let me gaze into your beautiful eyes
Of metal and agate.

When my fingers leisurely caress you,
Your head and your elastic back,
And when my hand tingles with the pleasure
Of feeling your electric body,

In spirit I see my woman. Her gaze
Like your own, amiable beast,
Profound and cold, cuts and cleaves like a dart,

And, from her head down to her feet,
A subtle air, a dangerous perfume
Floats about her dusky body.

>>16414277
Baudelaire?

How long has it been, Longcat?
Since you last had such numerous eyes on your endless torso?
Does your spirit weep?
Is it for joy or sorrow?
How I grieve for something that has disappeared from my mind for so long.
I will miss you friend, and your great verticality.

A Lament for Longcat, originally by Anon, translated and revised by Anon

Weep, goddess - tell me the tale
of the cat, whose length was widely known,
whose fame, recognition, was garner'd
from the amazement that mortals felt
at the sight of his extended pose, paws outstretch'd
forward, into the annals of time.

He stood upheld, supplanted
In the throne room, wood-paneled, yellow-lit,
two mighty arms of steel, a foundation,
his mighty frame not held by his strength alone,
he stares, bewildered, tail erect,
and surveys all that is before him.

For alas, as the Greek poets do relate,
gods must die, be their souls vast and powerful,
they still live subjected to the forces
by which the universe does spin for eternity.
Time degrades all, no living thing
can be forever freed.

Just as those who go before him,
Longcat goes now, to the halls of his brethren
who await, joyous, his arrival.
His soul does now journey, freed
from the bondage of his extended flesh
through that black and seamless night.

O Gama ilustre, por divino ato,
Logrou a Portugal levar o mundo,
E, adocicando o salso mar profundo,
Fez-lhe à grandeza estranho desacato:

O mar, que fora tigre, virou rato,
Lago de Portugal, poço jocundo.
E o Gama então falou: "Gama Segundo
Um dia existirá, mas será gato!"

E aquela oculta, ignota profecia
Aos homens todos consternou então:
"De Gama um gato?" cada um dizia.

Mas o tempo provou a previsão:
Gato nasceu, tão longo, que fazia
Do vasto mar ridículo pulgão.

You just make him longer.

Now cracks a noble heart. Good night, sweet prince,
And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest!

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.

Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message ‘Longcat is Dead’.
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong.

The stars are not wanted now; put out every one,
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun,
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood;
For nothing now can ever come to any good.

and thus my grief begins.

A Valediction Forbidding Forgetfulness

'Tis long,
Long since last we dreamt of thee,
Longcat, whiskers, and belley,

Long years of memery from you flow,
Though into the grave you now descend,
To your reward and heaven's embrace of clouds and sward,

Yet have I faith - for I know,
Long, nay - say eternal your battle, and let us not pretend,
For Tacgnol, your foe may sometime win, yet I perpetually hear the battle chord,

Tis true that time hath layed you low,
And humanity's love will ever to you ascend,
And yet you live in the mind, and our fight it against failing memory's sword,

Never forget our little pet
Who brought such joy
To the inter net.

>>16408950
Amen

Longcat, light of my memes, joy of my youth. My friend, my pall. Lon-g-cat: from tip of the nose taking a trip of three leagues down the tummy to tap, at three, on his feet. Lon. G. Cat. He was Long, plain Long, held in the air, stretching two foot one in all. He was Nobiko in Japan. he was Nobiiru at 2chan. He was Shiroi on futaba channel. But in my heart he was always Longcat.

RIP
