The 'A Cat Is Fine Too' meme (originally 'Neko demo ii') is a notorious internet catchphrase that originated from a 2003 fan-made parody doujinshi of the visual novel Tsukihime. In the panel, the protagonist Shiki Tohno is depicted in a state of intense, primal desperation, deciding that 'a cat is fine too' when he cannot find a human companion. Over time, the phrase transcended its niche anime roots to become a broader internet trope used to signal a humorous or exaggerated acceptance of a suboptimal alternative. It is frequently used in gaming, dating, and lifestyle contexts where someone jokingly settles for whatever is available, capturing a unique mix of deadpan humor and absurdity.
