It began with the owner of the cat posting a so-called mugshot picture of their cat complete with the words: Caught in the act -tuna thief of the year! In a few hours, the post became viral. The people filled the comments with the words like a cat was the public enemy #1, an act that was accompanied by the numerous laughing emojis and puns.
It was all a joke after all, a photoshoot. Whiskers the cat was not really in trouble (except for snack theft). Her owner claimed they retouched the photo in jest but after it went to social media, it became what it became. Memes, bogus arrest warrants and even GIFs were appearing everywhere.
The next time something is misplaced in your home you may want to ask Whiskers, the most wanted cat on the internet. She may be a genuine criminal or she may simply be a queen of comedy but one thing is for sure; her mugshot brought a smile back to the world.
