Floppa began as a meme built around photographs of a pet caracal, whose large ears and serious expression made him instantly recognisable in image macros and edits from 2020 onward. The character spread through Discord servers, Reddit and short video platforms as a reaction image for both wholesome and absurd posts. Yabujin later referenced the meme in the track I Don't Wanna Leave The Floppas, and this short sample comes from that recording. Its continued use reflects how a single animal photo became shorthand for cute internet humour.
