Do You Want To Join My Cat Religion Meme

Text conversation paired with a viral cat photo
Overview
This meme combines a text message conversation with a viral photograph of two real domestic cats. The conversation starts with a message asking 'Do you want to join my religion?', the recipient replies asking 'What's your religion?', then the image of the cats is shared, followed by the reply 'I'm interested'. In the image, a white cat stands upright on its hind legs holding a large bundle of wheat stalks above its head, mimicking a religious leader presenting the symbol of his new religion, while a second cat looks up at him curiously. The joke plays on the absurdity of creating a whimsical cult/religion around this funny cat photo, leaning into the internet trend of absurd, silly internet 'religions' or cults centered on weird animal content.
Origin notes
The original photograph of the standing cat with wheat is a viral pet photo originally posted by a user named Shitheadsteve, whose watermark appears on the image. This specific meme format combining the photo with the text chat conversation was shared to the WholesomeMeme community on X (formerly Twitter), as noted in the source information. It is a derivative meme that repurposes the existing viral cat photo into a new joke format.
