What is the Crying Cat meme?
Crying Cat is a white cat sitting in front of an open laptop, looking straight into the camera with huge, glassy, tear-filled eyes edited onto its face. The expression is somewhere between heartbroken and trying very hard not to cry, which makes it funnier than a real sad photo. The image is used to express exaggerated sadness about small disappointments: a canceled plan, a broken build, a favorite snack sold out. It works as a soft, self-pitying reaction rather than real grief, and the laptop behind the cat makes it feel especially at home in work and gaming jokes.
Origin: Photoshopped cats with enlarged, watery eyes began circulating as reaction images in the mid-2010s, and this teary white cat became the most widely used version.
Also known as: Sad Cat, Teary Eyed Cat.
How to use the Crying Cat meme
Split a sad sentence across the two boxes: the top box sets up the situation ("me when the tests") and the bottom box lands the letdown ("pass but the app is broken"). You can also use the bottom box alone as a caption for a sad reply.
It is best for low-stakes heartbreak where the overreaction is the joke: last slice taken, a game delayed, your fantasy team, a text left on read. Pair it with a sincere-sounding line; the watery eyes provide all the drama.
