About
Cheeseburger Wah, also known as Here Kitty You Can Has Cheeseburger, refers to a viral video of a cat being offered a cheeseburger (or sausage McMuffin) to which it opens its mouth wide to eat it, making a "Wah!" sound. The original video was posted to Chinese social media sometime during or before January 2022. In 2023, the video trended on TikTok when Postal Dude's voice (from Postal 3) was added as the audio. Many remixed the audio or re-animated the scene. Inherently, the video referenced the precursor I Can Has Cheezburger or Happy Cat meme.
Origin
Currently, the first discovered upload of the original video was posted by TikToker[1] @_hasagii on January 11th, 2022, gaining over 3.2 million plays and 470,300 likes in two years (shown below). The original video was likely uploaded to a Chinese social media site.
