Sept. 9 will mark Urlesque’s 24-hour feline-content blackout, also known as “Day Without Cats on the Internet,” and as a lead-up to the event, the site will spend the next few days focused on kitty memes.

The idea came from the AOL-owned property’s sister site, Asylum, whose writers realized that they were constantly blogging about Megan Fox. They agreed that Aug. 4 would be a day-long break from the “Transformers” actress and instead celebrated “Golden Girls” star Betty White.

Kristyn Pomranz and Katherine Steinberg, both online editors at AOL, created “I Can Has Cheezburger: The MusicLOL” out of a mutual appreciation for the site.

Ms. Pomranz, 27, has a musical-theater background and is “predisposed to singing about everything that happens around me,” she said. Ms. Steinberg caught her in mid-tune about a LOLcat (which Wikipedia defines as “an image combining a photograph, most frequently of a cat, with a humorous and idiosyncratic caption in [often] broken English–a dialect which is known as ‘lolspeak,’ ‘kitteh’ or ‘kitty pidgin’ and which parodies the poor grammar typically attributed to Internet slang) and realized she was on to something.

On a trip to Seattle, BoomTown visited the headquarters of the Pet Holdings empire, which includes Lolcats (icanhascheezburger.com), Fail Blog and now, Emails From Crazy People. While there, Kara filmed a video with Ben Huh, CEO of the (profitable!) company. There is obviously a method to Huh’s wackiness.

Elsewhere in Seattle, BoomTown got some of the lowdown on the machinations in the wake of the Yahoo-Microsoft deal. Satya Nadella and Yusuf Mehdi are just two of the Microsoft (MSFT) execs charged with leveraging the deal to knock Google (GOOG) out of its number one spot. They each sat down in front of the Flip camera to share their thoughts.

BoomTown also noted the beginning of the Yahoo-Microsoft regulatory filings this week and provided the full document of Yahoo’s (YHOO) 8-K to the Securities and Exchange Commission about the deal. To think: this is only the tip of the MicroHoo iceberg.

If you were one of the many wondering about Twitter’s high-profile outage this week, don’t worry–Kara provided a handy translation of the co-founder Biz Stone’s blog post about the whole matter. If you weren’t wondering at all, you’re not alone–Kara’s mother and older son, Louie, think the whole thing is a waste of time.

Google CEO Eric Schmidt’s resignation from Apple’s (AAPL) board of directors was just some of the news on Digital Daily this week. In some of the other news, the FTC responded with a “nice try, but we’ll continue our investigation anyway.” Better news for Apple, then, that it claims 32 percent of operating profits in the handset industry, even though it’s only the fifth-largest handset vendor.

In the not-so-good department on Digital Daily this week, NewsCorp. (NWS) (which owns the Wall Street Journal and this Web site) reported a 32.5 percent drop in fiscal-year-adjusted operating income–largely because of its “red-hot” social network, MySpace. Elsewhere, Cisco (CSCO) reported a 46 percent drop in quarterly profit while still beating the Street’s estimates, and Vonage (VG) recorded a second-quarter profit of $2.3 million while losing 89,000 net subscribers in the same quarter.

On Personal Tech, Walt Mossberg reviewed a new netbook from Toshiba this week great battery life and a winning keyboard, among other things. On the Mossberg Solution, Katie Boehret reviewed the Wii MotionPlus remote accessory, an add-on to the Wii remote that includes a gyroscope and allows for more precision and sensitivity in gameplay. Walt responded to readers on Mossberg’s Mailbox, answering emails about buying a new no-frills laptop, switching ISPs and moving contacts emails without too much pain, and discerning the minimum system requirements for Windows 7.

Walt went into a little more detail about Windows 7 on his MossBlog. Unfortunately, he discovered that more detail does not equal more clarity when it comes to a Windows 7 upgrade. At his request, Microsoft sent along a handy chart meant to simplify all aspects of the matter for readers. It is an astoundingly, even comically, complicated document. The company has promised to send a newer, simpler one. Stay tuned.

More next week.

Huh got a lot of attention when he bought icanhascheezburger.com in late 2007. The site, known as Lolcats, was well known for odd pictures of cats with even odder and often misspelled captions.

(The above image is an example of a new one, which kind of describes my relationship with various Web execs.)

Since then, Huh has expanded to a range of other time-wasting–but awfully fun–sites, such as: Loldogs (ihasahotdog.com), Lol Celebs (roflrazzi.com), Look-Alikes (totallylookslike.com), Lol News (punditkitchen.com), Graph Jam (graphjam.com), Nostalgic Win (onceuponawin.com), Fail Blog (failblog.org) and Engrish (engrishfunny.com).

His latest innovation is, naturally, Emails From Crazy People, which just launched. (See the letter below, which is achingly familiar to anyone with kids; click on it to make it larger):

All this wackiness is actually impressively profitable for Huh and his small staff of 20, earning several million via text and display advertising, leveraging the 170 million page views per month. Pet Holdings has also done books and is considering possible television shows.

Huh said Lolcats and Fail Blog do the best, in terms of revenue, although he has high hopes for Crazy Email.

Here’s my video with Huh, including a tour of its Seattle digs, as well as several examples from the sites (click on the images to make them larger):
