About

Pop Cat refers to a series of videos that use two images of a cat named Oatmeal, one with its mouth closed, and the other photoshopped as if the cat is holding it wide open in the shape of an O. The images have been used to create videos in which the cat lip syncs various songs, similar to Baby Eats Camera memes.

Origin

Prior to October 9th, 2020, Twitter user @XavierBFB posted two images of his cat Oatmeal to an unknown Discord server, a photograph of the cat and an edit in which the cat is given a widely opened, O-shaped mouth. On October 9th, Redditor[8] Skettidragon, a friend of @XavierBFB, posted an edit based on the photographs to the /r/MEOW_IRL subreddit, where it gained 122 upvotes in one month. The posts have since been deleted.

My husband made the popping noise and my dog, who is snoring, happened to be nearby.

On October 10th, Twitter[9][10] user @partitiongal reposted the edit and posted the two images, with the tweet gaining over 1.6 million views, 57,100 retweets and 161,600 likes. Following @partitiongal's viral tweet, @XavierBFB posted[11] the original video of Oatmeal (now deleted).

Spread

Also on October 11th, 2020, iFunny[1] user cattsu reposted the video to iFunny, where it gained over 1,600 smiles in one month. Later on October 11th, 2020, iFunny[2] user FeelixG posted a Sicko Mode meme based on the video (shown below). The video received over 470 smiles in one month.

On October 12th and 13th, Tenor[3][4] users Itlizard and scarfired posted GIFs based on the images (Scarfired's post shown below, left). On October 13th, Twitter[5] user @WhatTheFuaack posted the images of the cat, with the tweet gaining over 25,300 retweets and 15,100 likes in one month (shown below, right).

Starting in mid-October 2020, the images gained popularity in two related meme formats: on iFunny and Instagram, edits in which the cat lip-synced various songs gained popularity (October 20th meme by @ideiasvirgin[6] shown below, left), while on Twitter and Facebook four-panel memes in which various characters copied the facial expressions of the cat were spread (October 23rd meme by @yachifumis[7] shown below, right).

Popcat SOL Meme Coin

Popcat SOL is a community-owned meme coin on the Solana blockchain, a cryptocurrency popular for decentralized applications and NFTs due to its ability to handle thousands of transactions at low fees. The coin is named after the meme Pop Cat, which features a video of a low-resolution cat opening and closing his mouth in a large O shape. $POPCAT was introduced in 2022, before several POPCAT holders ousted the original developer for market manipulation in December 2023. Through 2024, POPCAT has overtaken several competing meme coins, including $BONK and $MEW, to be valued at $1.35 in late October 2024.

Baby Eats Camera

Baby Eats Camera refers to a viral video of a baby grabbing and trying to eat a GoPro camera, recorded from that camera. After receiving initial spread as one of the earliest viral examples of You Died meme in October 2017, in September 2019 the video gained popularity in lip sync edits in which it repeatedly opened and closed its mouth.
