What does this meme mean?
Use the spinning-cat idea to represent waiting, zoning out or staying cheerful during chaos. A stationary label and a seamless turn provide the whole visual rhythm.
Where it comes from
The reference cat is Jess, photographed by Imgur user Voidhawk42 in 2017. A Garry's Mod model and carryable-item variation appeared in October 2022, followed by spinning-cat edits; Jess is often confused with other tuxedo cats.
