The image is a viral meme featuring a grey tabby cat posing for a police mugshot, positioned in front of a hand-drawn height measurement board marked with numbers 10, 15, and 20. A circular inset in the top right corner shows the same cat having its paw pressed onto an ink pad for a paw print as part of a mock police booking process, held by a uniformed officer. Text at the bottom of the image reads 'Cat "arrested" in Bangkok after biting police officer, mugshot goes viral.' The cat has large wide eyes and a neutral, slightly confused expression, wearing a grey fabric collar with a pink identification tag. The humor comes from the absurd application of standard human criminal booking procedures to a pet cat.

This is a wholesome funny meme centered around the working from home trend. The top text introduces a Border Collie named Wilson, saying he is now working from home alongside a grinning emoji. The main photo shows the real Border Collie (a breed traditionally bred to herd sheep) sitting at a home desk in front of a computer monitor that displays a large flock of sheep. The joke plays on the fact that herding sheep is Wilson's natural job, so he is continuing his work remotely just like many people did during the remote work boom of the COVID-19 pandemic.
