Cat Eats the Meat-Shaped Stone

me at the National Palace Museum when the guards look away from the Meat Shaped Stone for 3 seconds

A white-and-brown cat appears in front of an ornate meat-shaped stone at the National Palace Museum, opening and moving its mouth as if frantically chewing it while the guards are distracted. The joke imagines an impulsive museum visitor—or cat—trying to eat an absurdly realistic artifact the moment nobody is watching. Wet chewing and mastication sounds amplify the ridiculousness and make the cat seem genuinely committed to stealing a bite.
