Plastic Packet Opening Cat Reaction Meme

This 4-panel comedic meme features a light-colored fluffy cat tucked under a quilt, asleep in the first three panels. Each of these first three panels is labeled with progressively more catastrophic, high-stakes events: 'Earthquake', 'Storm', and 'Alien attack', with the cat remaining completely undisturbed and asleep through all of them. In the fourth panel, the cat is suddenly fully wide awake and alert, with the label 'Plastic packet opening'. The joke hinges on the relatable common behavior of domestic cats, who appear unbothered by major dangerous events but immediately rouse at the sound of a plastic snack packet being opened, as they associate the sound with being given food.
