Where Do the Cat GIFs and Music on Procatinator Come From?

Procatinator does not publish a source list for its cat GIFs or its music. The site describes itself only as "a blend of cat GIFs with music," and its visible page text is limited to a short loading message ("loading a cat and buffering a song"), a shop link, and a "Made with love in Barcelona" credit. So the honest answer is: the exact origins of the GIFs and tracks are not stated on the site, and anything beyond that would be guesswork.

What the site actually tells you

The available page evidence is thin, and that itself is the key finding:

There is no credits page, no "music by" line, and no attribution to GIF creators in the material available. That means you cannot confirm from the site whether the GIFs are original, licensed, or pulled from public sources, and the same applies to the music.

Why the sources are probably not disclosed

A few practical reasons explain why a site like this stays quiet about its inputs:

• GIFs are hard to attribute. Cat GIFs circulate widely and often lose their original creator long before they reach a site like this.
• Music licensing is a legal gray area. If tracks are royalty-free or original, a site may still avoid listing them to keep the page simple; if they are neither, silence is safer.
• The format is the point, not the credits. Procatinator pairs a looping cat with a song, so the experience matters more to the operator than provenance.

None of this is confirmed by the site — it is context for why you will not find a source list.

How to check a specific GIF or track yourself

If you want to trace one item, work from the artifact rather than the site:

1. Capture the GIF. Right-click or long-press the image and save it, or note its on-screen appearance.
2. Run a reverse image search. Upload the saved GIF's first frame to a reverse image tool and look for earlier or higher-resolution copies, which often carry the original poster's name.
3. Identify the song. Use a music-recognition app while the track plays, then check whether the result is a commercial release or a royalty-free library track.
4. Check the shop and social links. The "Shop 🛒" and "Tweet" links are the only outbound paths shown; a shop page or the operator's social account is the most likely place a credit would appear, if one exists.

Expected result: you may identify the song, but GIF attribution often dead-ends because the same clip appears across many reposts with no common source.

Common pitfalls

• Assuming "no credits" means "stolen." Many sites use licensed or original material without a visible credit line.
• Trusting a reverse-search match as the original. The earliest indexed copy is not necessarily the creator.
• Expecting a stable catalog. The loading text implies content is fetched per visit, so the GIF and song you see may differ from what someone else sees — and from what you saw last time.

What you can and cannot conclude

You can conclude that Procatinator is a cat-GIF-and-music pairing site made in Barcelona, with a shop and a Twitter presence as its only visible outbound links. You cannot conclude where its GIFs or music come from, because the site does not say. If exact provenance matters to you — for example, before reusing a GIF or a track yourself — treat the site as the wrong place to find it and trace each item individually instead.
