About this sound

The viral Pop Cat audio clip based on the Pop Cat meme, used in edits, shitposts and reaction videos for sudden punchlines or goofy emphasis.

This sound is the short, punchy audio associated with the Pop Cat meme, a viral image of a cat opening its mouth into a wide O shape. The clip has a quick, exaggerated pop-like feel that matches the visual snap of the cat's face changing frames. In videos, it lands like a tiny comedic hit, making reveals, awkward pauses and absurd jokes feel sharper. Because it is so short and instantly readable, creators use it to underline a visual gag without interrupting the pace of the edit.

Pop Cat grew from a meme image of a cat named Oatmeal whose closed-mouth and open-mouth photos were edited into a simple looping gag. The meme spread widely on social media in 2020, then evolved into videos, rhythm edits and the Popcat clicker trend. The sound is still used because the mouth movement is instantly recognizable and easy to sync with a beat, a pop, or even a vine boom style punchline in short-form edits.
