Ohai, Cheezfrends! Today “I Can Has Cheezburger” turns five! WAT?! FIVE WHOLE YEARS OF HILARIOUS AND CYOOT KITTEHS???? SRSLY?! Time flies when you’re having LOLz!

To celebrate, we’ve asked the employees of Cheezburger to select some of their favorite LOLz from the last five years. We’ve compiled them here. Enjoy a leisurely stroll down memory lane! If you want to play along, share links to your favorite LOLz in the comments below! (Or you can just wish us a happy birthday. That’d be awesome too!)

We’ve also created a video compilation featuring some of our favorite clips. Watch it below!

Happycat: The cat that started it all! But who is Happycat? Why is he happy? What is his obsession with cheezburgers all about? Why did he ever think it was a good idea to go on a hunting trip with Dick Cheney? We answer these questions and many more in our latest installment of Cheezburger Confidential, featuring the happiest, hungriest cat to ever grace the internet!

Conga-ratz to Crummy_Heinous, who submitted this handmade Happycat beanie to our Happycat Look-Alike contest! It is a thing of beauty!

After the jump, you’ll find a few more of our favorite entries. Thank you to everyone who participated!
