1. The start of the coughing cat meme
The start of the coughing cat meme as we know it can be traced back to Dec. 18, 2018, when @40ozAliah tweeted “this is how lil kids cough”. You know what? She’s still not wrong. Though, you know, teach your kids how to cover their mouths when they do cough.
2. Getting out of school pre-quarantine
Before lockdowns and stay at home orders were part of our daily lives, kids would try to get out of school by faking sick. This use of the coughing cat meme shows just how they would do it. Though by the time school is back in session and social distancing is lifted, kids will probably want to be in school and away from home for a little bit.
