The Story of Business Cat
Business Cat is an advice animal meme featuring a tabby cat wearing a necktie. The format uses image macro captions written as if the cat is a middle manager delivering corporate directives with feline logic. "I need you to stay late tonight. We have a red dot that needs chasing."
The original photo appeared on Flickr in 2011. A user had placed a small necktie on their tabby and photographed the result. The image was picked up by Reddit's r/AdviceAnimals community and turned into a recurring format. Each caption follows the same structure: a business instruction in the top line, followed by a punchline that reveals the speaker is actually a cat.
Business Cat thrived during the peak era of advice animal memes between 2011 and 2013. He stood alongside Ceiling Cat, Grumpy Cat, and Chemistry Cat in the Reddit meme pantheon. The format satirises white-collar office culture by replacing managerial authority with the absurd priorities of a house cat. Meetings about knocking things off desks. Performance reviews for birds watched through windows.
The cat's real identity was never confirmed. Unlike many meme cats, Business Cat remained anonymous. The format faded from heavy use as advice animals gave way to newer meme structures, but the image still circulates whenever someone needs to illustrate corporate absurdity with a straight-faced tabby in a tie.
