Ceiling Cat is one of the most iconic figures from the early days of internet culture, specifically the 'LOLcat' phenomenon popularized on 4chan and I Can Has Cheezburger in the mid-2000s. The image features a ginger tabby peeking through a square hole in a drywall ceiling, looking directly at the camera. He is traditionally depicted as a god-like figure who is 'watching you' in various, often awkward, situations, serving as the benevolent (but judgmental) counterpart to the sinister Basement Cat. Though it originated decades ago, the meme remains a foundational part of web history, representing the surreal and wholesome humor of the early 21st-century internet.
