Spread

The site was first featured on Buzzfeed[5] months after its launch in September 2011. In November, the link was shared on Metafilter[6] and Feministing.[7] After its appearance in Buzzfeed's list of the best Tumblr blogs of 2011[8] published in early December, the blog was featured in Rhode Island's Daily Herald blog.[9] On December 6th, 2011, Valmassoi did an interview with The Next Web[4], during which he explained that he started the blog as a place to store all of the captioned animal pictures he had created in one sitting for an ex-girlfriend. When asked if anything awesome had happened as a result of the blog's viral reception, he responded: "the sheer number of 'You have totally brightened my day' or 'This is my favorite Tumblr' messages I receive means more to me than I can properly express." The Facebook[10] page for the site has over 2,400 likes as of June 2012.
