pop cat

The Pop Cat meme first appeared in October 2020 and quickly gained popularity. It spread across various social media platforms such as Twitter, Instagram, and Reddit. In December 2020, a web-based clicker game called Popcat.click was launched, attracting global participation. In 2021, mobile games featuring Pop Cat also emerged, continuing its popularity. By 2022, it was even released as a Solana-based meme coin ($POPCAT).

The Pop Cat meme utilizes images of a domestic cat named 'Oatmeal.' It features two rapidly alternating images: one of the cat with its mouth closed, and another with its mouth exaggeratedly open in an 'O' shape, created using Photoshop. This creates a 'popping' effect, as if the cat is opening and closing its mouth with a 'pop' sound. The original video of this meme originated from Oatmeal chattering at an insect. It is primarily used to express surprise, excitement, or a reaction to a specific situation, and is sometimes depicted as the cat singing along to music.

Thanks to its simple yet cute appeal, the Pop Cat meme was widely loved by internet users worldwide. It gained particular popularity among younger generations who actively use social media and online communities, and became well-known among gamers through the Popcat.click game. With its expansion into a meme coin, its audience also broadened to include cryptocurrency investors.

The Pop Cat meme is primarily used in the form of animated GIFs or short videos where the cat opens and closes its mouth. Many parody videos have been created where the cat appears to sing or react to specific music or sounds. On streaming platforms like Twitch, it is also used as an emote to express emotions. Furthermore, it was enjoyed as the 'Popcat Click' game, where users click the cat to accumulate points and compete for national rankings.
