Ramsoomair said that he began the strip due to boredom at work ; he created comics during his lunch breaks . The first '' VG Cats '' strip was released on September 1 , 2001 . ( His answer on the FAQ page said it was bad timing , probably in reference to the September 11 attacks that happened that same month ) Prior to taking the VGCats.com domain , the comic was hosted at www.vgcats.cjb.net . For a period , '' VG Cats '' was affiliated with BuzzComix . During April 1 ( April Fools ' Day ) , Ramsoomair replaces the regular home page with fake pages , like a " Krug " page in 2003 or a Myspace profile for Solid Snake in 2007
