Photoshop is a wonderful tool, and when combined with the high caliber of cat comedy, it creates a winning combination. And thankfully, that is what we have on show for you today, a cat who has become famous for his antics in the cat meme world for years now. Who recently got an internet upgrade, as you might call it, when one clever person uploaded his image to Reddit.

From there the internet did its thing and made this cat the star of movies, the referee of football games and so much more that it is hard not to compare this cat to the famous Forrest Gump who accomplished an incredible amount in his life too. So settle in, and get ready to marvel and be slightly ashamed that this cat has accomplished more in its life by simply being photographed with its hands in the air, than we will likely ever accomplish in our long lives.

“TOUCHDOWN!”, what a genius way to make use of this cat’s curious fur markings. It is a shame that more animals are not involved in the refereeing of sports. You could have dogs, cat, and best of all skunks. Who would be best saved for the UFC.

Wow, this cat has done so much with its life in such a limited time, it is actually rather impressive. And now, perhaps, he has made it to the pinnacle of his prowess as he is ready to take on any opponent who dare step into the ring with him.
