Appreciation post: That one week my cat became a meme goldmine

Back in July 2022, my cat Whiskers decided to park his butt directly on my laptop keyboard while I was in a Zoom meeting. I snapped a photo and posted it here, and within 3 days it got over 2,000 upvotes. Then he did the same thing the next day but with his paw on my mouse, and that one hit 4,500. I still think about that week when I open my meme folder and see those two, wondering if I'll ever get that lucky again. Anybody else have a random string of perfect cat moments like that?

Damn, that's a killer cat story. You hit the internet lottery twice in one week. So here's what I'm actually wondering though - did you change anything after that first post blew up, like moving the laptop or bribing him with treats, or did you just let him keep doing his thing and hope for round two? Cause it sounds like you knew exactly what you were doing with that camera ready the second time.

4 million views says he earned that second shot sitting right there.
