Pop Cat Meme Template

About this meme

This meme originates from a short video of a cat named Oatmeal chirping at a bug, which was then edited to show the cat opening and closing its mouth in a perfect "O" shape with a "pop" sound effect. It exploded in late 2020 as a clicker game (PopCat.click) and has since become the ultimate visual for talking too much, being hungry, or simply making noise.

Frame 1 (Closed Mouth): Representing The Anticipation, The Calm Before the Storm, or The Patient Audience.
Frame 2 (Wide Open Mouth): Representing The Screaming, The Consumption, The Constant Talking, or The Hot Take.
The "Pop" Sound Effect: Symbolizes The Impact, The Submission, or The Instant Recognition of a meme.
