The internet witnesses the birth of new memes every day, and one of the most common categories of memes seen online are reaction memes in which users share photos of other people, animals, or cartoon characters to represent or capture their own reactions.
One such reaction meme that went viral on the internet in 2024 has been the 'Cat laughing and pointing' reaction meme. The meme features a photo of a cat looking toward the camera with its mouth open in a way that makes it look like it is laughing really hard.
The photo is accompanied by the 'pointing finger' emoji, which gives it the appearance of the cat laughing and poking fun at the viewer.
The meme first surfaced on the internet in October 2023, when a YouTube user uploaded a video of the cat yawning and added a laugh track in the background, making it look as if the cat was laughing really hard.
The video went viral, and quickly became a popular reaction meme on the internet, with people using it in the form of a photo, video or GIF to make fun of or laugh at something or someone.
It has continued to be one of the more popular laughing reaction memes on the internet for over a year now, inspiring several other variations featuring different cats recreating the meme in their own unique and hilarious way. (via X / @kallmeshy)
