Business Cat meme template

Business Cat is a meme format on WhatiMeme. Business Cat is an image-macro boss who treats a normal workplace problem with confident, literal, or purely feline logic. The top line sets up an ordinary office demand or corporate phrase; the bottom line is the cat’s deadpan, useless, or self-serving “solution.”

A black cat with wide yellow eyes faces forward, wearing a white collar and a yellow plaid tie with blue and black stripes. The background is a pinwheel of flat color wedges in orange, lime green, tan, red, purple, and teal. No text is printed on the image.

How to write this meme

Write the top line as something a real manager might say, then let the bottom line solve it the way a smug cat would: literally, selfishly, or by sitting on the problem. Keep both lines short enough to read in one glance, and do not explain that the speaker is a cat.

Caption zones

  • Top text — The setup. Sits in the color above the ears so the cat's eyes, mouth, and tie stay visible.
  • Bottom text — The punchline. Sits beside the tie so the tie, the eyes, and the mouth stay visible.

Example captions

  • Top text: Need that report by Friday
  • Bottom text: I already sat on the keyboard

A normal deadline is “handled” by the exact cat behavior that ruins the work, and the cat sounds proud of it.

  • Top text: Morale seems low
  • Bottom text: I brought everyone a dead bug

A sincere management concern gets a gift that is generous in cat logic and horrifying in an office.

  • Top text: Who is leading standup
  • Bottom text: I am standing on the laptop

It takes a common meeting name literally, so the punchline lands in one beat without extra explanation.

  • Top text: We are going paperless
  • Bottom text: Good. I prefer knocking mugs

The cat agrees with the policy for a reason that has nothing to do with the policy, which sells the overconfident boss voice.

  • Top text: Synergy is the priority
  • Bottom text: I synergized with the curtains

Empty corporate jargon is answered as if it were a physical task a cat would actually do.

Common mistakes

  • Making both lines cat jokes, so there is no office setup to ruin
  • Writing a bottom line a competent human boss would actually say
  • Explaining the joke instead of letting the bad solution be the joke
  • Using long paragraphs that will not fit the top or bottom band
  • Ending on generic meowing with no specific action
