Secret to eternal happiness

This composite meme image depicts a serious male martial artist in a white karate gi with a black belt, kneeling respectfully on sandy ground in front of a stone pedestal. On top of the pedestal stands a real tabby cat dressed in a blue traditional martial arts uniform with a red belt, holding a wooden staff, positioned as a wise martial arts master. In the misty background is a traditional East Asian pagoda, with a small cute doodle of a big-eyed skull drawn on top of the pagoda. The meme uses the common trope of a disciple seeking great wisdom from an ancient master, with the underlying joke that the 'secret to eternal happiness' is being a devoted disciple to your pet cat.
