I'm with you kickstart, it's corny, lazy and it has overstayed its welcome, like all web memes. But I despair of any action that can be taken to make it go away, all we can do is weather the storm and wait for the next stupid thing to come along, which, like catching the tip of your dick in your zipper while you have a canker sore has the benefit of being a brief novelty, if nothing else.

The thing that bothers me most about LOLCATS is the way they're redefining our collective image of cats as aloof, intelligent, and inscrutably feline creatures (see Old Possum's book of Practical Cats, The Cat Who Walked By Himself, Edward Gorey, and so on ) as moronic cheesburger seeking comedy illiterates. The thing that bothers me the second most is that no-one has, as yet, successfully combined the images from the aforementioned interpretations of cat behaviour with cat macros. Seriously, I've googled them, and a few people have sort of tried it, to mixed and unamusing results. Maybe it's just not that good an idea.
The third is that LOLCATS have pretty much ruined Feersum Enjinn for me. Damn.

I've got two responses.
1. See, these are American cats. Ha! Ha! Oy. Okay.
2. lolcats aren't illiterate or subliterate or anything of the sort; what they are is grappling—with shocking efficacy—with the mechanics of human language. They are not failing miserably, they are succeeding brilliantly. Their English is poor, yes, but it's a hell of a lot better than your Cat, yes?

Like hell. I hate cats. As far as I'm concerned, the only good cat is a dead cat... or a LOLCAT. Despite my aversion to felines, however, I have swallowed that meme whole.
But it has nothing to do with actual cats. It is all about the cute, toddler-esque phrasing. At least once a day, my dog looks up at me, all forlorn, and says "I can has cheezburger?"
Sadly, no, no she cannot.

Your cat sometimes messes around when you're not home, nibbling at its own dried shit and then licking the remote, dry-humping your toothbrush, and pressing its ass all over your glasses case. That's why you sometimes smell like a filthy, randy cat.

I hate lolcats too (especially the language) if it makes you feel better. I view it essentially on par with leet (31337)-speak that was prominent among script kiddies and their kin.
Although, I don't really think it hinders the website's quality, since it's just layers and layers of ironic "Ha, this is hilarious because it's pidgin english" humor. It's easy enough to skip past.

But I despair of any action that can be taken to make it go away
I find that just not reading posts on that particular subject works rather well for me. YMMV, obviously, as I know that some masochists just love to torture themselves by reading about subjects they have no interest in, but it can definitely cut down the misery.
Practice hitting the down arrow key until you finally work up the confidence to do it for real.

"You're the perfect bait. They will view you as conflicted. Your LOLcatophobia is so visceral."

I don't need to practice it chief, I do it all the time, I was just saying I don't like that shit, in a thread about not liking that shit or do I need your permission for that? People post these retarded little verbal catchphrase farts in threads all the time instead of taking the time to say something original or saying nothing at all, I don't care for it. But nice zinger, it had that snotty bitch tone, you know... perfect.
