Satirical Zoom Etiquette Meme That Prioritizes Cats

I can't believe people are still struggling with basic Zoom etiquette. Remember: - Mute yourself when you're not speaking. - Use the "raised hand" to avoid interruption in groups. - Make sure your cat is in view. - Don't forget to tell me your cat's name. - Please tell your cat I love them.

This text-based satirical meme begins by listing two standard, widely recommended Zoom meeting etiquette rules: muting your microphone when you are not speaking, and using the raised hand feature to avoid interrupting others during group calls. It then comically shifts tone to list three absurd, cat-centric rules that have no relation to actual meeting etiquette: requiring attendees to keep their cat in camera view, share their cat's name with the group, and tell their cat that the speaker loves them. The humor stems from the relatable, lighthearted obsession many remote workers have with seeing their colleagues' pets appear during virtual work calls, subverting expectations of boring work-related advice.

This meme is sourced from the X.com (formerly Twitter) account @meme.jpg, distributed via an RSS feed. It targets remote workers and people who regularly attend virtual meetings, playing on the common cultural experience of pets making unexpected appearances on work calls, which is a widely shared relatable topic on social media platforms like X.
