Stepan the Cat is a world-famous tabby from Kharkiv, Ukraine, who captured the internet's heart with his signature pose: sitting nonchalantly at a table next to a drink while music plays in the background. First gaining traction on TikTok and Instagram, Stepan became the ultimate symbol of social exhaustion, indifference, and the 'mood' of being over it all. The meme typically highlights feelings of being out of place at a party or enjoying a quiet night in. Beyond the humor, Stepan gained international attention during the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, using his platform to raise funds for animal charities, transforming from a viral joke into a symbol of resilience.
