Torres explained on twitter: "the person that takes care of it has been MIA so I’ve been trying to rebuild but progress is very with Chris to re-build nyan.cat by sifting through archives from (Wayback Machine), rebuilding as much of the code as possible. The dancing lovebots were the only other creature from the old version that was kept. The Toast Cat never returned, but the original Nyan Cat, and several brand-new spoofs appeared on the site instead. Īfter Chris wrote the copyright claim on his Tumblr, he got ownership over the website.Įventually, according to an interview with the original creator, he made a truce with Huy Hong, met Saraj00n, and they decided to fix the website, which was now broken and had only a straight broken rainbow. cat sponsored top-level domain and was described as "plagiarized" by Chris Torres. He also changed Nyan Cat to a similar-looking cat with a slice of toast for its body with a 6 colored rainbow and the same background music. The next day Huy called him and said he did NOT want to form a partnership, and that he would start his own plans without him. He asked Huy to join his team so there wouldn't be two Nyan Cat iGames. Torres was already planning his own Nyan Cat game. Torres then got an Email from Huy which asked if it was okay to ask him by phone about his ideas for an iPhone 5 game, with his image of Nyan Cat. After a while, he posted a link to the original Nyan Cat, but later, he changed it from "Original GIF" to "Nyan Cat's cousin," still letting people think that he was the creator, and the original was fan art.

Torres contacted him on Twitter, and he agreed to add credit to him. īecause of this, many thought Huy created Nyan Cat. Even though he created the website, he gave no credit to anyone, not even the real creator of the Poptart Cat gif. The website was created by someone called Huy Hong.
