KittehCoin
Date: October 25, 2025

Introduction

KittehCoin ($MEOW) has officially returned on BNB Chain, marking the revival of one of the earliest and most recognizable cat-themed cryptocurrencies in blockchain history. Originally launched in December 2013, KittehCoin embodied the humor and experimentation of the early crypto era, serving as Dogecoin’s feline counterpart.

A Verified Origin (2013)

Historical blockchain analysis confirms that KittehCoin’s genesis block was mined on December 23, 2013, at 06:21:24 UTC (nTime = 1387779684). By comparison, Catcoin’s genesis occurred approximately 16 hours later, verifying KittehCoin as the first cat in blockchain history.

KittehCoin: nTime = 1387779684 → 2013-12-23 06:21:24 UTC  
Catcoin:    nTime = 1387838302 → 2013-12-23 22:38:22 UTC
# Verified: KittehCoin genesis mined ≈16 hours earlier
# Source: Official GitHub repositories

Its original code included a playful blockchain message:
“ICanHazKitteh at epoch 1387779684. Meow. Now pet me.”

Chain Fork History

KittehCoin (2013) was originally based on the Litecoin source code, but it was not a direct chain fork, as it did not share Litecoin’s block history. In 2017, the original KittehCoin blockchain was hard-forked into Lynx (LYNX) by developer Benjamin Wilson, who ported KittehCoin’s transaction history into a new chain. The 2025 KittehCoin ($MEOW) relaunch on BNB Chain (BEP-20) is an independent restoration of the 2013 project and not a continuation of the Lynx chain.

Early History and Dormancy

Between 2013 and 2015, KittehCoin circulated among early miners and online crypto forums. It was open-source and community-oriented, emphasizing fun and participation. As the market matured, the project became inactive, though its records remained public — preserving its historical significance as the earliest cat-themed cryptocurrency.

2025 Relaunch on BNB Chain

In 2025, KittehCoin was relaunched on BNB Chain (BEP-20) through the Four Meme platform. The relaunch maintained the original identity while updating to modern blockchain standards for security, liquidity, and transparency.

This revival was executed as a fair launch:

  • 100% of tokens distributed publicly
  • No presales, team allocations, or private reserves
  • No future minting or vesting

This ensures transparent ownership and a fixed supply.

Historical and Cultural Value

KittehCoin predates every cat-themed token that came after it. It represents an early intersection of humor, open participation, and verifiable blockchain innovation. Its revival connects the pioneering spirit of early crypto culture with today’s meme-driven digital communities.
