About this sound

The popping mouth sound from the viral Pop Cat meme, featuring the cat Oatmeal opening and closing its mouth in rhythm. Used for cute reaction edits.

This sound captures the sharp, hollow pop made when the Pop Cat opens its mouth wide and snaps it shut. Each click is short and percussive, like a bubble bursting or a mouth popping, and it repeats in a quick, satisfying rhythm. The silliness comes from how serious the wide open mouth looks paired with such a simple noise. Viewers instantly recognise the loop and expect the beat to keep building, which makes even a few seconds feel funny, light and oddly addictive to watch and replay.

Pro tip

Place each pop exactly on a beat or cut so the mouth movement matches your edit, and layer several pops in a row to build tempo. Keep background music low, because the click loses its punch if other percussion competes with it.

How people use it

Dropping into cute cat edits synced to a song beat.
Punctuating a funny reveal with a quick mouth pop.
Looping under TikTok videos for a silly rhythmic effect.
Adding to meme compilations when a character looks surprised.

More information

Pop Cat began in October 2020 when a video of a cat named Oatmeal opening its mouth was edited to add a popping sound and looped to music. The clip spread quickly on Twitter, Discord and YouTube, then inspired the Popcat.click counting game that pushed it even further worldwide. Edits placed the cat over songs, with the mouth popping on every beat, turning a simple pet video into a universal meme format. Its short, clean pop still works as a standalone sound for reactions and edits today.
