A humorous meme depicting a tabby cat sitting at a black desk in a home office setup, seemingly engaged in remote work. The top text reads, 'The time in history when everyone worked from home, even cats.' The desk features an Apple laptop, a white mug with a circular design, a closed book, and a pencil.

A small framed photo is mounted to the left of the poster. The watermark '@the_pizzacat' is positioned in the top-left corner of the image.

Origin notes

The meme appears to be user-created, likely by the individual or account '@the_pizzacat' as indicated by the watermark. It is a photograph, suggesting minimal editing beyond possibly staging the scene. The content references the widespread shift to remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic (circa 2020-2021), using a cat in a human-like work setup for comedic effect. The 'Hang in there!' poster adds a nostalgic, motivational touch, reinforcing the workplace theme. The platform of origin is inferred to be Instagram or a similar image-sharing social media site based on the '@' handle format.

This meme features a real orange tabby cat sitting upright by its pet feeding station (including an automatic feeder, stainless steel water fountain, and raised food bowls), staring intently at a wall clock that reads exactly 9:00.
