Smurf Cat is a spoof of Nyan Cat.
Appearance[]
This Nyan is not perfectly 8-bit. They wear the iconic white Smurf hat and are fused with a baby blue Poptart with hot pink sprinkles. The rest of their color scheme remains the same.
The cat trails the normal rainbow and flies in space, past the default exploding stars like the original Nyan Cat does.
Music[]
It sings "La la la la la la!", the theme song of the Smurfs.
Appearance on Nyan.cat[]
The Smurf Nyan Cat appeared on the website Nyan.cat as a flavor.
The page's title said, "NON-STOP SMURF CAT!" and the options below it highlighted in pink.
The animated picture saved under the name "Smurf.gif" and the small icon on the "Pick a Flavor" menu saved under "Smurf.gif" too.
It was pulled from NYAN.CAT for copyright reasons in late 2016, but is now accessible again.[1]
History on Nyan.cat[]
A YouTuber made the Smurf cat originally, but it soon got pulled for copyright reasons, which forced Nyan.cat to take it down from their site too before they could get sued.
However, oddly enough in 2016, typing in Smurf.php after the Nyan.cat/ brings you to the former Smurf Nyan Cat, which had been replaced with a placeholder Jazz Cat. It could've been possible that they were trying to bring it back on Nyan.cat. Sadly, it was erased altogether from the site in late 2016 and typing it would redirect you to the main page.
The only way that this Nyan could be viewed was on Archive.org (Wayback Machine) back in late 2012.[2]
At some point between this Nyan's removal and 2020, this Nyan was re-implemented to nyan.cat, but seemingly has no audio (probably an error because the filename in the link is smurfcat.mp3 while the real filename is smurf.mp3)[3]

Trivia[]
- It is possible that this Nyan Cat was made to celebrate the Smurf Film's release.
