The CEO joined a Zoom meeting

This image is a screenshot of a Zoom video call participant tile. A folded black cloth takes up most of the frame, with an orange cat's face peeking out from the bottom edge of the cloth, creating a funny optical illusion that looks like a CEO in a dark business suit attending a meeting, with only the lower half of their face visible. The participant's name displayed on the tile is 'rico', and standard Zoom meeting controls are visible at the bottom of the interface.

This meme features a real photograph of a domestic cat sitting on a tiled floor in front of a floral-decorated sofa. The cat's pose and body shape create an uncanny, funny coincidence where the entire outline of the cat matches the pose and shape of the famous viral meme dog Cheems, a sitting Shiba Inu. The meme adds an inset: a red circle at the top containing a picture of Cheems, with a red arrow pointing down from the circle to the cat, highlighting the striking visual similarity that is the joke of the meme.

This is a funny perspective optical illusion photo taken inside a messy bedroom. An orange cat sits on an unmade bed with its back to the camera, facing a wall where an anime poster of Rei Ayanami from Neon Genesis Evangelion is hung. From the camera's angle, the poster lines up perfectly to look like the cat has an anime girl's head, creating a silly unexpected visual joke. The room also features a wooden glass-paned door and light blue walls.

The meme features a black cat crouching on a light-colored floor, intensely staring at a lit tablet placed in front of it. The light from the tablet screen makes the cat's eyes appear wide and glowing, giving it a hypnotized, extremely focused look. The lower section of the image is a screenshot of a social media post from X (Twitter) user academicgangster, dated December 20, 2025, with the intentionally misspelled hashtag #Apsorping Knowleadge. The joke relies on the absurd contrast between the cat's seemingly hyper-focused gaze at the screen and the deliberately misspelled caption that frames the cat as absorbing knowledge, poking fun at the common experience of mindlessly staring at screens while pretending to be productive or learning.
