What Is The 'Clutterfunk Cat' Meme And Where Did It Come From? The Viral 'Geometry Dash' Memes Explained
There's a new cat going viral on TikTok lately, and it's taking the Geometry Dash fandom by storm.
The cat is known as the "Clutterfunk Cat," and its angry, creepy face is quickly becoming one of the biggest memes of the month on TikTok.
But where exactly does this image come from and why is it such a big meme? Here's what you need to know.
What Is The 'Clutterfunk Cat' Meme?
Before it was associated with the song "Clutterfunk" from Geometry Dash, the image of the cat, which appears to be a Photoshop or AI-generated image mixing a cat with a human, first popped up online in 2024. It was posted to Facebook in July 2024 with no context and started spreading that year, including to the Russian site VK, before finally going viral on Instagram that November.
Unfortunately, the exact origins of the image are unclear. Regardless, in late January 2025, the meme was taken to new heights when TikToker @skibidikamol paired it with the song "Clutterfunk" from Geometry Dash. The original meme shows the cat next to a "cat language" chart. From there, the cat gained the nickname "Clutterfunk cat" and started spreading even further.
How Is 'Clutterfunk Cat' Used In Memes?
As a meme, the Clutterfunk cat is paired with the song "Clutterfunk" and used in a variety of absurd ways.
Many of the memes are slideshows that begin with a cat-related chart, such as a cat emotions chart, followed by the image. Sometimes, the image is further edited to be as disturbing as possible.
Others have taken the meme further. For example, one TikToker gained over 2 million views in just a few days for recreating the Clutterfunk cat as a portrait in Minecraft.
The bizarre nature of the image, along with the strength of the Geometry Dash fandom, has helped propel it into mainstream meme stardom.
