Peter the Cat, famously known as the 'King of /b/,' is a legendary black cat that became an unofficial mascot for 4chan’s most notorious board. Emerging in the mid-2000s, the image of Peter staring intensely into the camera lens perfectly captured the chaotic and anonymous spirit of early imageboard culture. While many memes on the site are fleeting, Peter has remained a symbol of nostalgia for the 'old' internet, representing the era when simple animal photos could command absolute authority over a community. Usually accompanied by captions regarding the rules of the internet or random proclamations of power, this meme remains a foundational piece of internet history.
