Grumpy Cat Reacts to Family Being Forced Vegan After Mom Joins Facebook Group

This is a single-panel reaction meme. At the top, black text on a white background reads 'When my mom joins some Facebook group and now the entire family are vegans'. Below the text, a fluffy white cat with an annoyed, grumpy facial expression sits upright on a soft grey blanket, staring disapprovingly at a small plate of green salad with two cherry tomatoes placed in front of it. The humor comes from the relatable scenario of a parent adopting a new lifestyle trend after seeing it on social media, then imposing it unilaterally on the whole family, with the cat representing the annoyed family members who do not want to follow the new vegan diet.
