The 'This Sound Reminds Cats They Were Worshipped In Ancient Egypt' meme exploded on TikTok and Instagram, tapping into the historical reverence for felines in Egyptian culture. The trend features a specific, atmospheric track—often a remix of Middle Eastern or 'Egyptian-style' instrumentals—played for a pet cat. The humor stems from the cat's reaction; whether they stare intensely into the distance or act particularly aloof, viewers interpret the behavior as a genetic memory of their time as sacred beings. It is widely used by pet owners to celebrate their cats' royal attitudes and moody stares, contrasting their humble modern lives with their legendary status as protectors of the Pharaohs.
