The 'i didnt fuck my cat' meme stems from a March 2019 Twitter apology posted by YouTuber Shane Dawson. The statement was a response to a resurfaced clip from his 2014 podcast, 'Shane and Friends,' where he told a graphic and disturbing story involving his cat. Dawson claimed the story was a fictional 'bad joke' and posted a series of defensive tweets via the iOS Notes app, beginning with the now-infamous line. The overly specific and surreal nature of the denial, combined with the classic 'celebrity apology' aesthetic, turned the text into a viral copypasta used to mock social media PR disasters and unprompted oversharing.
