Pop Cat became a widely shared internet meme around 2020, built from images of a cat named Oatmeal with a closed mouth and a dramatically opened mouth. The meme spread through reaction images, looping videos and the Popcat clicking game, where each click triggered the familiar mouth-open visual. The sound is commonly added in edits to make that visual change feel sharper and funnier. It remains popular because the joke is simple, recognizable and easy to reuse in short-form content.
About this sound
A short popping sound tied to the Pop Cat meme, based on the cat mouth-opening image. People use it for quick edits, emotes and silly reaction moments.
This clip is the tiny popping noise associated with the Pop Cat meme, where a cat’s face switches to a wide open mouth for a comic beat. The sound is extremely short and punchy, landing like a soft pop or snap that turns a simple image change into a joke. Because it is so brief, it works best as a visual accent rather than a full reaction. Viewers instantly read it as playful, absurd and internet-native, which is why it shows up so often in meme edits and emote-style posts.
