The toyota cat clip circulates on soundboards and short video platforms as a loose meme sound with no confirmed original recording or creator. Its name comes from the joke comparison listeners make between the cat's drawn out vocal and a vehicle sound, rather than from an official advert or show. It is shared alongside other pet reaction clips like the sad meow song and the cat laugh meme, and keeps being reused because the meow works on its own, even without the original video context or any setup at all today.
