Toast Cat was the "original" Nyan Cat back on nyan.cat throughout April 20th, 2011, to February 11th, 2012.

Physical Appearance[]
It is a Silver Tabby Cat rather than a Russian Blue that has a slice of toast with a spread butter on the toast for its body.
The rainbow trail colors Red, Orange, and Yellow stay the same color somewhat, but Lime, Azure Blue, and Han Purple have different shades of their individual colors, such as lime being an India Green, Azure Blue being a standard blue, as well as Han Purple being an Indigo color all with the edition of a lavender magenta color streak giving the Toast Cat a 7 streaked rainbow trail.
The music isn't any different as it just flies through the original Momo's "Nya Nya Nya!" Nyan Cat song.
NYAN.CAT[]
This cat first appeared on the 21st of April in 2011 and remained on nyan.cat from April 20th, 2011-February 11th, 2012.
Sadly, the NYAN.CAT website became broken on February 12th, 2012, resulting in a broken, straight, motionless rainbow and no Nyan Cat, but the music still plays, and the stars still move across the screen. Since then, the Toast Cat has never returned.
The Toast Cat from the beginning to its end can be found on Wayback Machine.[2]
Ganja Toast Cat[]
There was a Ganja Toast Cat from nyan.cat that could be achieved if you Nyan for 420 seconds with the "Lower Volume" Easter Egg. As you may have guessed, the Ganja Toast Cat has the normal Nyan Cat theme song as the tune in the background, nothing else. This only works on the earliest version of Toast Cat though (20th April 2011), so Wayback Machine has to be set to that date. This was actually mistaken as a Brazilian Toast Cat by many people all over the web attempting "Brazilian/Epileptic Nyan Cat" challenges back in the 2011-2012 era of nyan.cat.
Also, the actual "Ganja Nyan Cat" was the result of someone stealing the Rasta Nyan Cat, claiming it as their own and renaming it to "Ganja Nyan Cat". This resulted in someone creating their own version which was a normal Nyan Cat wearing a Ganja hat under the incorrect name unintentionally.
This then led to Nyan.cat making their own version using the design of the new version of the Ganja Cat which a person had copied another person who had stolen and renamed the original Rasta Nyan Cat.
Since Toast Cat had gone from the Website, Nyan.cat soon fixed this with their newer Ganja Cat and renamed it to Jamaicnyan.
Other people also made spoofs of Toast Cat. Sadly, many of these spoofs that were made are named as "Nyan Cat", which, even though Toast Cat is still a Nyan, it is not the original Nyan Cat.

Trivia[]
- The Easter Eggs for the website were introduced at the same time of Toast Cat's creation.
- Nyaning with Toast Cat for long enough activates an Easter Egg to enable Nyanaoke Mode (Nyan Cat Karaoke) with a button. Doing the same with the "Lower Volume Easter Egg" but for only 420 seconds makes the Toast Cat turn into the Ganja Toast Cat.
- Ganja Toast Cat is designed off of a YouTuber's Ganja Nyan Cat, which is spoofed off of a YouTube video thief's version who had stolen Rasta Nyan Cat.
- Toast Cat was the first Nyan to use a seven color unique rainbow, instead of the normal six colored one.
- There are a few Toast Cat Spoofs that can be found on YouTube; however, they refer it as Nyan cat and not as toast cat...
- Back in June 2014 on "LOL-COMICS!" or "www.prguitarman.com" under the "NYANCAT.CAT GO!" picture there was a line of text that said "NEW! Official Site! Accept no buttered toast substitutes! Also, skin chooser!" this is a reference to Toast Cat.[3]
