You might've seen it pop up (pun not intended) here and there. Maybe you've even had your timeline flooded by this. One thing's for sure, if you've ever been on Facebook in the past week, you've seen this cat at least once.

People who are familiar with memes are no stranger to the pop cat. With one image of the cat with its mouth closed, and the other photoshopped as if its mouth is wide open in the shape of an O. But, apparently being a popular meme isn't cutting it, because pop cat is back as a game, and it's taking over the world quite literally.

The rules are simple. You open the website popcat.click and furiously click your mouse button, tap your keyboard, or tap on your phone screens to pop the cat. Every time you do that, the cat opens its mouth and makes a "pop" sound, which apparently is helping some relieve stress.

What's so fun about that, you ask? Well, your score gets added to your country's total pop which lands your country somewhere on the leaderboard. The more pops your country has, well, the higher up the leaderboard they go. And just like good ol' sports, this is uniting the country's people more than ever!

As of now, Taiwan, Finland, and Sweden are holding the top 3 spots, but you'd be glad to know that Malaysia is actually in the top 10! And that's out of more than 180 countries.

According to "Know Your Meme", the cat in play is called Oatmeal and it and its owner are very informed of their sudden popularity. A video of Oatmeal was even uploaded to the internet where it is chirping at a bug.

So, whether you're just looking for more cats on the internet, or you're just finding things to do during your Zoom meeting, you can head over to popcat.click and perhaps contribute to Malaysia's first ever gold medal? I just wonder what happened to the North Korean guy.
