   Step 1: Search for (or take) pictures of cats.

   Get several of them and choose which one would look funny with 'captions'.
   
   If you use someone else's image, make sure to ask for permission, or if it's a Creative Commons image, give them credit appropriately.

   Step 2: Think of a caption.

   Remember that spelling/grammatical errors are deliberate.
   
   This "language" is sometimes called lolspeak, kitteh or kitty pidgin.
   
   You may be able to find some translators online.Try these caption templates (replace the blanks with your desired noun/verb): "IM IN UR ___, ___-ING UR ___" "IT ARE ___, I HAS IT" "OH NOES! MAH ___ IT ARE ___!"
   
   Put a caption describing what is the 'invisible object'.
   
   A good (existing) example would be "invisible bike."
   
   , Now send to friends or post on forums for the world to view your creation! Many lols will come forth!
