Zoning Out Cat

Black Cat Zoning Out, also known as Black Cat Zoned Out or Staring Black Cat, refers to a video of a black cat staring blankly at a tan-colored cat which meme creators associated with "zoning out," pairing the video with captions related to losing focus or dissociating. The meme template trended mostly on TikTok in 2023, where creators used a greenscreen template to edit the cats over various backgrounds that coincided with the given caption. Also, TikTokers predominantly used the TikTok sound and song "aquatic ambience" by scizzie. The original video was filmed by a Japanese TikToker in March 2023.
