cat gifs on demand for any occasion or project. Make any request for any resource for moar cats. No 5xx or 4xx's here: just cat gifs.

Use it anywhere you need a cat gif! For example

<img src='http://edgecats.net/first' alt='a random cat gif!'/>

or something like this to click for new cat gifs

  <div id="catcontainer" onclick="moarcats();">
    <img src="http://edgecats.net" alt="random cat"/>
  </div>

  <script type="text/javascript">
    function moarcats() {
      var catcontainer = document.getElementById("catcontainer");
      catcontainer.innerHTML = '<img src="http://edgecats.net" alt="random cat"/>';
      return false;
    }
  </script>

Also allows cross origin requests.

try /auto!

• every 60s is a new cat
• click the image to immediately get moar cats
• the X-cat-link header has a direct link to the current random cat

try /netcat out!

• type moar cats for an adorable cat!

Awesome right? Fuck yeah here's another cat

you can haz! try /random

edgecats.net/cats/ is a static cacheable cat, like this motherfucker right here

well here's one right now!

• /all for a list of all cat gifs
• /all/count for a count of all cat gifs
• /all/show to show all cat gifs. May be slow!

After getting hit by social networks bandwidth became prohibitive, so enter a CDN from the nice folks at EdgeCast. During high traffic periods, you may find your self redirected to /meow,which serves a cacheable image from /cats.
