On January 1st, 2011, a Brooklyn-based cat named Emilio made internet history. After receiving a tie as a Christmas gift from Etsy shop Whisker Kisses, Emilio's owner snapped a few photos using a laser pointer to keep his attention. That photo was posted to Something Awful forums by user Apple Jax, and within days, it exploded across Reddit, transforming into the legendary "Business Cat" meme. The original caption? "No LOL here, Get your ass in my office." It was peak 2011 internet culture—simple, absurd, and absolutely brilliant. Business Cat became one of the most beloved Advice Animals, joining the ranks of Courage Wolf, Socially Awkward Penguin, and Philosoraptor during the golden age of image macro memes.
What made Business Cat special wasn't just a cat in a tie—it was the perfect collision of corporate speak and feline behavior. Business Cat represents every boss who takes themselves too seriously, reimagined through the lens of cat logic. He demands quarterly reports while knocking things off desks. He schedules synergy meetings to discuss optimal laser pointer acquisition strategies. He's closing deals and closing his eyes for a mid-afternoon nap in the sunbeam by his corner office window. The meme's genius lies in its formula: take any mundane corporate phrase and add a cat twist. "Let's circle back on that mouse" or "I need those TPS reports on my desk... so I can sit on them." It's relatable to anyone who's ever worked in an office, owned a cat, or both—which is basically everyone on the internet.
While many memes from 2011 faded into obscurity, Business Cat never truly left the building. He's been quietly making power moves, waiting for the perfect moment to return. Now, over a decade later, Business Cat is back and disrupting the Solana blockchain with $BIZCAT. This isn't just another meme coin—it's a hostile takeover of the entire crypto space. Business Cat represents the OG internet culture that started it all, before everything became over-commercialized and sanitized. We're bringing back the authentic, absurd humor of early 2010s internet while building something genuinely fun in the crypto community. No LOL here. This is business. And business is booming.
Business Cat is looking for dedicated employees (and laser pointer operators).
