The 'Cat Feeder Camera Cats' meme trend features distorted, extreme close-up images of cats captured by the built-in wide-angle lenses of smart automated pet feeders. Because these cameras are positioned directly above or inside the food tray, the resulting photos warp the cats' faces into hilarious, bug-eyed expressions of desperation and intensity. The trend exploded on social media platforms like TikTok and Reddit as pet owners began sharing the 'unfiltered' side of their feline friends waiting for a meal. It perfectly encapsulates the dramatic and often haunting relationship between a hungry pet and the technology that stands between them and their kibble.
