The "Sad Cat" meme, often featuring a photoshopped cat with teary eyes, emerged in 2014 from an altered version of the "Serious Cat" meme. The image, shared anonymously on Meme Generator, showcased a cat with a sad, almost exaggeratedly moist gaze, making it appear as though the animal was crying. This instantly relatable and somewhat absurd image resonated with internet users, especially for expressing emotions like sadness or frustration humorously. The meme spread quickly to platforms like Reddit and Facebook, with various iterations such as "Schmuserkadser" (from pr0gramm) and "Thumbs Up Crying Cat" adding new layers to the meme's popularity
