This is a two-panel meme featuring a real cat using a clever forced perspective trick. The accompanying text reads: "Few days ago we feed her. Then she disappeared and suddenly come with this kitten." In the left panel, the cat's tail is positioned to perfectly mimic a small kitten curled up in front of her, creating the illusion that she has returned with a baby cat after being fed. The right panel shifts the "kitten" (revealed to be the cat's own tail) to expose the trick, with the cat appearing amused or proudly looking at the viewer. The humor comes from the unexpected optical illusion, playing into the wholesome trope of a stray cat bringing her young to people who helped her, subverted by the silly visual gag.

This meme is a screenshot of a post from the X (formerly Twitter) platform. The poster, user @TheDreamGhoul, writes a joking caption saying that every time they call their white cat by her name, the cat stares at them with an expression as if they just told the cat her husband died at sea. Four separate photos of the same all-white domestic cat are included below the text, all showing the cat with a somber, slightly sad, disappointed resting expression looking directly at the camera, matching the over-the-top dramatic description in the caption. The humor comes from anthropomorphizing the cat's neutral, serious resting face as an absurdly disproportionate, dramatic upset reaction to a minor, everyday interaction like hearing its name called.
