The "dead cat" meme refers to a tactic often used in politics or public relations where a shocking or sensational topic is introduced to distract attention away from a controversial issue that might otherwise dominate the conversation. The name comes from the idea that if you throw a dead cat on the table during a dinner party, everyone will focus on the cat and forget their previous conversation. The tactic leverages the human tendency to react to dramatic or unexpected events, thereby redirecting media discourse and public focus. It's a strategy for managing narratives and steering public perception away from negative press.
