Cat With Duck on Its Head

Text on the meme

until you can walk away from the past you cannot have a future

What it means

A wet black cat sits in a sink or bathtub with a bright yellow rubber duck balanced on its head. The motivational message says that letting go of the past is necessary for having a future, creating an absurd contrast with the cat’s miserable, confused expression. It is used as a humorous reaction to advice about moving on, emotional baggage, or being unable to escape the past.
