Cat With One Tattoo Sleeve Saving Up For The Other

This is a two-panel viral meme featuring a real tabby and white cat whose natural fur pattern creates a funny optical illusion. The cat's right front leg (and matching dark markings around its eyes) look like a finished black and grey tattoo sleeve, while the left front leg is solid white fur that looks like bare untattooed skin. The top text reads "Saving up to get my other sleeve done", leaning into the joke that the cat is a tattoo enthusiast saving money to get a matching second tattoo sleeve on its other leg. The left panel shows the cat's full face and upper body, and the right panel is a close-up zoom on the two front legs to highlight the illusion.
