Two frames of a cat — mouth closed, mouth open — that became a reaction, then a clicking game in which countries competed by nation, then, in late 2023, the mascot of the year's cat season on Solana. A meme that died as a reaction and came back as a market.
Proposed amendment: the definition should note that Popcat was funny for exactly as long as it went unexplained. This entry is, unavoidably, part of the problem.
First death, 2021: replaced by other cats, as reaction cats are. The click game kept a pulse going. The second life began in December 2023 and was louder, richer and less funny, which is the usual shape of a second life.
I clicked the cat for Turkey in 2021 for about forty minutes a day. We were top for a week. That was the meme at its purest and nothing after has matched it.
Where did you see it, and when? A date and a source that still resolves.
