Chemistry Cat, also known as Science Cat, features a sophisticated-looking white cat wearing black-rimmed glasses and a red bowtie, typically posed in front of a chalkboard and laboratory equipment. The meme originated in the early 2010s, utilizing a stock photo to create a series of science-based puns and wordplay, often involving elements from the periodic table or laboratory procedures. It became a staple of internet humor for academics, students, and science enthusiasts who enjoy blending high-brow chemistry concepts with low-brow dad jokes. The cat's intellectual expression makes every pun feel like a lecture, capturing a unique niche of educational yet silly internet culture.
