Origin notes

The meme originates from the X.com (formerly Twitter) account 'WholesomeMeme'. It is a remix created by editing a stock photo of a cat, adding festive New Year's Eve elements (balloons, lights, wreath), a 11:00 PM clock, and a text overlay to humorously depict the struggle of maintaining an early bedtime on a night typically associated with late celebrations. The watermarks 'Ooeorges.m' and '415' suggest possible original image sources or editing credits.
