This meme uses an optical illusion to create a humorous shocking effect. It shows an orange tabby cat lying on a black-and-white geometric patterned rug in a typical living room. A light-colored, leg-shaped element of the rug's design is positioned directly next to the cat's real front paw, making it look at first glance like the cat's leg has been cut off. The overlaid text on the image reads "Nearly had a heart attack", describing the poster's initial frightened reaction before they realized the "severed leg" was just part of the rug. The original title includes a cat pun: "pawse" is a play on the word "pause", referencing the cat's paws and the split-second pause the poster took when they saw the illusion.

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.
