Cat Breading, also known as 'Breading Cats' or 'Inbread Cats,' is a viral internet phenomenon that involves placing a hollowed-out slice of bread around a cat's face. This quirky trend first gained massive traction on social media platforms like Reddit and Tumblr around 2011, evolving into a widespread photo fad similar to planking. While the visual gag is inherently absurd, the meme often leans into puns, specifically playing on the word 'inbred' to describe the cats. Despite its simplicity, the trend sparked a cultural moment where pet owners worldwide shared photos of their 'loafed' companions, solidifying the breaded cat as a hall-of-fame staple in the annals of feline internet humor.
