The image gained popularity amongst the forum's members and inspired several of them to create merchandise featuring the smiling cat's face. Limited edition Happycat shirts, stickers and even hand-painted portraits were once available on SAMart.
Happycat is also notable for being the image used in the very first LOLcat, I CAN HAS CHEEZBURGER. But not even that justifies burning it.
