Silly Cat is a character by the Twitter artist and animator Mauzymice; it was initially posted on June 22, 2022. It was mostly used for practicing animation on Flipnote Studio and originally did not have a name until some time later.[1] On November 9th, 2022, a Reddit user u/lilillillie would post a caption GIF using one of their animations with the caption, "this is how u look saying that shit" on r/196.[2] It wouldn't gain much attention until around January 2023, when an anonymous Discord user would make another caption GIF using Funny Caption Bot with one of Mauzymice's animations.
