This meme combines the unexpected seriousness of a president's role with the carefree attitude of a cat. It highlights how sometimes those in charge can seem just as uninterested in their responsibilities as our feline friends are with our commands.
The central emotion here is frustration mixed with absurdity. As viewers relate to the struggle of getting someone's attention (or a pet's), the humorous exaggeration of a cat taking on a presidential role makes it even more amusing.
There is an unexpected twist of a cat acting like a high-ranking decision-maker. This scenario can also incorporate a popular internet meme format – like the distracted boyfriend template – where the human is distracted by the cat instead of focusing on the important paperwork.
The meme should capture the cat's apathetic expression while perched confidently on the desk, surrounded by chaos. Meanwhile, the human's over-exaggerated expressions of frustration will juxtapose the calm of the presidential cat in charge.
