Helping the Big Boy Cat

Helping my cat so he doesn't have a sore wrist when he is a big boy

A black-and-white cat lounges on a bed while a person gently supports or rubs its front leg. The caption jokingly treats the cat like a growing child whose wrist needs preventative care, making the exaggerated concern absurdly cute. Aphex Twin’s “Alberto Balsalm” plays underneath, adding dreamy, hazy ambient-electronic music that makes the overdramatic joke feel oddly serious and hypnotic.

I'll make my cat so he doesn't have a sore wrist when he is a big boy.
