This is a two-panel comparison meme that makes a relatable joke about cat owner sleep routines. The top panel shows a groggy, half-asleep human man lying in bed, woken up in the middle of the night by his cat at 3 AM, matching the caption on the right. The bottom panel shows a similarly groggy, annoyed half-asleep cat, who was woken up from his nap by the human at 1 PM, with the matching caption. The joke highlights how cats have the exact same annoyed reaction to having their sleep interrupted that humans do when cats wake them up overnight.

On the left side, a real person is shown crying with tears streaming down their face, hand covering their mouth, conveying sadness and distress.

This animated meme humorously captures the universal experience of walking out of a dark movie theater into bright daytime sunlight. The animation starts in a dark room, showing a cat walking toward a bright doorway leading outside. The entire screen immediately becomes overwhelmingly bright white, mimicking the disorienting temporary blindness you get when suddenly hit with intense light after being in darkness, just like the effect of a flashbang grenade. Slowly, the cat's silhouette becomes clearer as the viewer's eyes adjust to the light, until the cat is fully visible staring forward after the initial shock of the bright light fades. The entire animation is themed around the relatable scenario described in the repeated on-image text.

The meme consists of two parts: the top section contains bold text that reads 'Cats: descended from the most ferocious killing machines on the planet Also cats:'. Below this text is a photograph of an orange tabby cat with extremely large, round eyes and its pink tongue sticking out, giving a silly, surprised expression. The humor arises from the contrast between the text's claim of cats' fierce ancestry (referencing their evolution from wild predators) and the cat's goofy, harmless appearance in the image.

This meme jokes about the common hypothetical scenario where people panic at the start of a zombie apocalypse, complaining that they have no weapons to defend themselves, while completely ignoring common everyday household items (a broomstick, rope, and kitchen knife, all of which can easily be repurposed as weapons). It uses the popular unimpressed, judgmental Pathetic Cat reaction image, with the cat labeling the panicking person's behavior as 'Pathetic', matching the annoyance described in the original title.

Below the text is a photograph of a gray and white cat with a tired, unamused expression, sitting behind a window.

This meme uses humorous juxtaposition to make a joke about domestic cats. It opens with text stating that cats are evolutionarily descended from the most ferocious killing machines on the planet, referring to their wild predatory ancestors. The text is followed by a label "Also cats:" and a close-up photograph of an orange tabby cat with abnormally wide, large eyes, its pink tongue sticking out in a vacant, goofy, dopey expression. The joke comes from the stark contrast between the fearsome reputation of cats' evolutionary predecessors and the harmless, silly, unintelligent appearance of the domestic cat in the photo.
