About
Stuck Cat refers to a picture of a cat whose right arm is caught on a bed to its left and whose left arm is stuck on a scratching pole to its right.
Origin
On August 13th, 2016, Twitter user @aktfps[1] tweeted a picture of her cat, Milk-chan, stuck between her pole and her owner's bed after trying to jump on both at the same time. As of August 16th, 2016, the tweet has over 141,000 retweets and 161,000 likes.
Spread
The tweet spread quickly as Japanese Twitter users began making memes of Milk. "@Pedalandsaddle" posted a photoshop of Milk playing multiple keyboards and gained 17,000 retweets and 13,000 likes (below left).[3] Another photoshop of Milk-chan running a hurdles race posted by @masaK9[6] gained 1,700 retweets and 1,000 likes (below center). After popular Let's Play Youtuber PewDiePie retweeted it to his 8.46 million followers,[2] his followers quickly began photoshopping Milk-chan into various scenarios (ex: below right).[4][5]
In the following days, the Stuck Cat meme was reported on by Japanese publications nlab.itmedia.co.jp[7] and RocketNews24,[8] as well as English publications Mashable,[9] The Daily Dot,[10] and The Daily Mail.[11]
