Cat Checks Molten Metal

Text on the meme

Me on my first day as a blacksmith, when they sent me to check the molten metal:

What it means

An orange-and-white cat cautiously peers over a glowing pool of molten metal, then appears to lick it at the end. The joke exaggerates the danger and incompetence of a blacksmith’s first day, while the dramatic Firelink Shrine music makes the cat’s absurdly serious “inspection” feel like an epic fantasy moment.
