A cat attempts to steal salmon jerky from a kitchen drawer opened by an earthquake, as the owner rushes to ensure its safety
Overview
A screenshot of two X.com (Twitter) posts featuring a humorous and wholesome pet anecdote. The top post is an English translation by Eleanor Goldsmith (@zaichishika) of a Japanese tweet by tama毛 (@tama12tebako, dated March 16). The original Japanese tweet recounts rushing to check on a cat after an earthquake, only to find the cat attempting to steal salmon jerky from a kitchen drawer that had been shaken open by the earthquake. Below the tweets is a photograph of an orange tabby cat inside the open drawer, appearing alert and focused on the contents, visually illustrating the anecdote.
Origin notes
The content originates from a Japanese-language tweet posted by @tama12tebako (tama毛) on March 16, which includes an original photograph of their cat. It was later translated into English and reposted by Eleanor Goldsmith (@zaichishika) on X.com, a social media platform. The meme combines the translated text with the original photograph, making it a cross-lingual repost and translation of the original user-generated content.
