From the page source :)

  <!-- Okay, if you really want to see a photo of my cat and have resorted to looking at the source HTML, here is a photo: https://gail.com/boxcat.jpg -->

it is not "unexciting by Internet standards". what the heck, it is gorgeous.

I find it even technically outstanding. Is that some sort of natural Moire pattern on it's back? Spliced-in turkey genes? I find this cat oddly fascinating.

Maybe it had been sleeping in that box. The cardboard has a similarly distanced pattern.

It's fur waviness, I think.

[Traubenfuchs]

Yup, not even a SIC but some regal mane cat.

Makes me wonder at how much bandwidth would be consumed by putting an image of the cat embedded in the page, with the volume of unique people typoing gmail.com on a daily basis.

You probably wouldn't want it to be a 8.5MB PNG

That cat definitely is internet fame worthy!
