About
Wide-Mouth Singing Cat, also known as Pog Cat and Catto, refers to a series of videos in which use two images of a cat, one with its mouth closed, and the other photoshopped as if the cat is holding it wide open in the shape of an O. The images have been used to create videos in which the cat lip syncs various songs, similar to Baby Eats Camera memes.
Origin
The origin of the photograph of the white cat is currently unknown. On October 11th, 2020, iFunny user cattsu posted an video based on the photograph and its edit in which the cat is given a widely opened, O-shaped mouth. In the edit, the cat lip syncs a mouth popping noise. The post received over 1,600 smiles on iFunny in one month.
Spread
Later on October 11th, 2020, iFunny user FeelixG posted a Sicko Mode meme based on the video (shown below). The video received over 470 smiles in one months.
On October 12th and 13th, Tenor users Itlizard and scarfired posted GIFs based on the images (Scarfired’s post shown below, left). On October 13th, Twitter user @WhatTheFuaack posted the images of the cat, with the tweet gaining over 25,300 retweets and 15,100 likes in one month (shown below, right).
Starting in mid-October 2020, the images gained popularity in two related meme formats: on iFunny and Instagram, edits in which the cat lip synced various songs gained popularity (October 20th meme by @ideiasvirgin shown below, left), while on Twitter and Facebook four-panel memes in which various characters copied the facial expressions of the cat were spread (October 23rd meme by @yachifumis shown below, right).
