No, I can’t. I’m not sure I even understand what the “correct” thing I’m supposed to like to look at and want to reblog.
The closest I come to having a favorite cat meme is this one
which is apparently my favorite meme of all time. I used to like it a lot as a small child because it was visually comforting to me and I liked all the cats being “just like me,” with no differences between the animals. When I started understanding that each of these cats was “different” in some subtle way, I would instead prefer that meme
I think it’s the same idea, except there are more cats.
There were a lot of variations on “cats with various expressions” in the early days of tumblr (which was where I got my taste for cat memes). One of my favorites was this one
I still like it, but the “correct” thing these days is “cats looking into the camera and making some facial expression and one of their eyes looking very intently and a little bit like a human eye,” so I don’t really have much use for it. (It’s been done to death.)
