The 'Khajiit Has Wares' meme originates from the popular RPG The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, where the Khajiit—a race of feline humanoids—are known for being traveling merchants. Specifically, the phrase 'Khajiit has wares, if you have coin' is a line of dialogue used by characters like Ri'saad when players interact with their caravans. It first gained traction around 2013 on platforms like Reddit and Tumblr, often paired with photos of real-life cats looking like they are guarding items or sitting behind a shop counter. The meme is used to humorously frame situations involving transactions, hoarding household items, or suspicious 'under-the-table' deals, evolving into a universal shorthand for quirky commerce in internet culture.
