Cats Appearing To Be On A Phone Call Via Faucet Spouts Meme

This is a screenshot of a two-panel meme posted on X (formerly Twitter). The top of the screenshot displays the poster's profile: a profile photo of a screaming cat, display name 'memes I wish I could tag my cat in', and username @memesiwish. The text caption above the image panels reads 'They're on the phone'. The left panel features a tabby cat sitting in a bathtub, pressing its face against the metal bathtub faucet spout. The right panel shows a black and white cat sitting in a bathroom sink, pressing its face against the sink's metal faucet spout. The humor comes from a visual pun: the metal faucet spouts look like old mobile phones held up to the cats' ears, making it appear as if the two cats are having a phone call with each other.

Origin notes

This meme was shared on the X/Twitter account @memesiwish, an account that posts relatable, cat-focused memes for cat owners. The two individual photos of cats drinking from faucets are pre-existing viral pet photos, which the account combined into a two-panel collage and added the 'They're on the phone' caption to create the joke. This type of relatable pet meme is commonly circulated on social media platforms like X, Instagram, and TikTok among pet owners.

This is a humorous meme that imagines a text conversation between a cat owner and their cat. The top text sets the premise: "If my cat could text". The cat, whose profile picture is an intense staring black cat, sends the first message saying "we'll talk later i'm at 1%". The owner replies asking if 1% refers to phone battery, and the cat responds revealing the 1% is actually of their patience. The joke subverts common expectation: people normally assume 1% refers to phone battery life, but it instead references the famously low patience cats have for interacting with humans, which is very relatable to most cat owners.
