Like cartoon rabbits rapidly multiplying, the number of Cheezburger Network websites continues to grow with the addition of new humor blog Meme Animals. Cheezburger, which already runs more than 50 sites, will officially launch Meme Animals Thursday, but the company gave Mashable the inside scoop on the eve of the site's launch.

"We listen carefully to what our users are saying and we try to create early communities for specific memes," Cheezburger Editor Emily Huh told Mashable about why Meme Animals was created. "We think our users will love a meme-nagerie of famous Internet critters, from a Business Cat to a Socially Awkward Penguin."
The blog's visitors will see familiar faces such as Nyan Cat, Philosoraptor, Anti-Joke Chicken, Art Student Owl and Pickup Line Panda, among other meme-lover favorites. Users will generate all of the site's content.

Although other Cheezburger websites have showcased animal-based memes in the past, Meme Animals will provide fans of viral creatures a dedicated place to find them.
Meme Animals already features 70 pages of new and old posts, including content from the company's five popular parent sites I Can Has Cheezburger?, FAIL Blog, Know Your Meme, Memebase and The Daily What.
This new site likely will compete against Reddit's Advice Animals, which as the name implies focuses heavily on animal memes. More than 265,000 people subscribe to Advice Animals.
