Sorry for the lack of daily updates lately folks, we’ve been in vacation mode. But to celebrate Independence Day, here is a very patriotic version of internet sensation Nyan Cat.

We’ll be back with our regular scheduled updates tomorrow, and we’ve got quite the task ahead of us of going through all of your amazing cute submissions that have been filling up our email. But for now, a quote:

“We hold these Pop Tarts to be self-evident, that all Nyans are created equal, that they are endowed by their Cat with certain unalienable Rainbows, that among these are Nyan, Nyanity, and the pursuit of Nyaniness.”

Patriotic Turtle is so patriotic that he claims your back-garden for America. Happy 4th of July everyone and go easy on the hot dogs (or apple pies for you veggies).
