"Да" - it's simple exclamation... Something like American "Wau" (I'll may be wrong in spelling, sorry). The Cat wanted to express all the power he expresses at the moment :)Whis love from Russia :) :)

I'm struggling with the last line. "If I am fast enough, of course…" or whatever... is this a reference to the characteristic torpor of cats? As in, "If I could be bothered moving that fast"?

Sorry, I feel like I have to step in. Sometimes word-to-word translation is not the best way to go - assuming that you want to deliver the message, especially if it is a humorous message. My version (accurate linguistically, too, btw) : " At this height I... I... I can cross paths of airplanes, yeah!!! If I am fast enough, of course... " (or "If I manage to do it fast enough") a "Да" in the beginning... I am not sure what English equivalent would be - native speakers help needed. But certainly it shouldn't be translated as "yes". In this case "да" is used to magnify significance of THIS HIEGHT - one of possible ways to use "да" in Russian (just as "yet" in English can be used as replacement for "already" or for "besides")

@Throbert:The "во!" signifies something along the lines of "voila!", "behold!", or "how do you like that?!", it conveys a sense of showmanship in this particular instance.

If any native Russian speakers are reading this thread, I have a question about the original caption: What does the "во" signify here?

God it's sad to see how many of you either don't 'get' the fake translations or are annoyed by them.Hilarious work, guys, keep it up. This one is my favorite by far. Probably because it includes "o".

I can't decide which delights me more: The fact that lolcats are so internationally/universally enjoyed, or the wickedly skewed "translations" that this site offers.The fake translations crack me up, but I love reading what the original captions are as well - so I offer a great big "THANKS!" to both the creators of this site, and the commentors who translate the original captions.

Frankly, I find the original comments in Russian far more witted and funny. Anyway, great collection of funny photos.

I'm kind of torn on this one: it wavers between genuine charm and babelfishiness, like a skyscraper built ahead of schedule at the expense of quality of materials and labor.
