The "Dead Cat" meme originates from political and public relations strategies, famously articulated by Australian political strategist Lynton Crosby. The concept is metaphorical rather than a literal meme and involves creating a distraction to divert attention from unfavorable topics. When controversy arises, figuratively "throwing a dead cat on the table" shifts the focus to something shocking or sensational, changing the conversation. This tactic is often employed in politics and media to reframe narratives or deflect criticism. It highlights the power of distraction and the manipulation of public discourse, making people focus on the "dead cat" rather than the main issue.
