Hey pardner, put 'em up. 

Cowboys have a long standing lore and history. Originating in the 19th century from cattle ranchers after the Civil War. Cowboys migrated to the West and were responsible for tending herds, repairing fences, caring for horses, and driving cattle. Their work was long and hard, it was outdoors with their hands, and every day was unpredictable. Their image continues to be indelible for viewers who enjoy old Westerns, or wild West themes in general. Since the passing of Dolly Parton, cowboys, country, and the rustic, rural farm life is making a comeback. And that's why at I Can Has Cheezburger we're making a comeback of cowboy cats to remind you of the good ol' days. Rural nature, just your pony and you, simpler times where the sunset and sunrise dictated your day, where you couldn't endlessly scroll, and where you might even put a tiny cowboy hat on your cat. Enjoy these wholesome cowboy cats.
