Chunky cat attempts to escape vet visit, gets stuck under chair, rescued by firefighters, goes viral online, turns into an instant meme, and ends up having to go to the vet anyway: 'He really chose property damage and a 911 call over a check-up'

When this cat attempted to escape the vet, things went a little bit wrong. He got stuck and had to be rescued by firefighters. And the pictures that came out of that were so iconic that the internet instantly meme-d them.

The cat side of the internet is… unexpected. Cats are constantly going viral online, that is something that everyone knows. But no one knows what a cat will go viral for. One thing that we do know is that the things cats go viral for are rarely serious things. People look at cats for levity, for distraction. So… cats go viral for being unphotogenic and hilariously attacking plants. Cats go viral for being "the worst cats" at the shelter and instantly get hundreds of adoption applications. Cats go viral for fake-limping and spooking out their owners.

So really, it should not be surprising that, of all cats, this chunky cat attempting to escape going to the vet would go viral. We should not be surprised, and yet, we were. Because the pictures of the incident are simply too funny. One look, and we were cracking up. The virality was instant, and in our humble opinions, it was very well-deserved.

Oh, after all of his efforts - and clearly, there was true effort being put in - the cutie pie still ended up at the vets… sigh. Poor thing. He almost made it. We are honestly sure that he would have much rather continued being stuck in that chair forever than going to the vet. Getting out of there, surrounded by spooky men in uniforms, and then being dragged to the vet on top of it all… that was probably the worst day of his life. It's too bad that the pictures are so funny, and we legitimately cannot help but laugh at them.

Of course, the internet responds in the only proper way. Meme-ing the heck out of this cat. The internet loves its memes, of course, but cat memes are on a different level. This cat will live on to eternity on the internet - because of this one hilarious picture of it being stuck in this chair. Years from now, we will see people using this exact image to express their emotions online. It will be a story to tell, and it's a story that we would listen to over and over. We were here when this meme was born.
