In the following years, a cropped version of the image saw heavy use online, appearing in several news articles[2] and blog posts.[3]

In November 2018, an unknown user posted a photoshopped version of the image. In the edit, the cat appeared as a bipedal creature in a comically angry stance. The earliest found version of the image was shared by Twitter user @pinchenic on November 28th, 2018.[4] On December 1st, the edited image was posted in Facebook community Cursed Images, where it gained over 420 likes.[5]
