Business Cat features Emilio, a black cat wearing a shirt collar and tie, looking sternly over a desk like a high-level executive. The meme first gained traction on the Something Awful forums and Reddit around 2011, quickly becoming a staple of the 'Advice Animals' era. It perfectly parodies corporate culture by blending mundane office requests with instinctive cat behaviors, such as demanding reports while being distracted by a laser pointer or cancelling meetings to nap in a sunbeam. It remains a favorite for office workers looking to add a touch of feline absurdity to their professional grievances.
