What is drooling-cats?

This repository is a meme collection, not a piece of software. It gathers images of what the creators call the Drooling Cat, a low resolution photo of a tabby cat staring blankly with a string of drool, which became a popular internet reaction image in early 2026. The README describes it as a way to react to something so impressive or absurd that your brain briefly stops working. The collection includes several image variations of the same joke, showing the cat in different settings and situations, all collected in a gallery within the repository. According to the README, people use these images to react in group chats, to represent someone zoning out mid conversation, or to mark a moment when something is unexpectedly impressive. The project invites other people to contribute by adding their own drooling cat images through a pull request, similar to how open source code projects accept contributions, except here the contribution is a meme image rather than code. The README asks that new submissions stay in a deliberately low resolution style to match the existing collection, and that contributors avoid both high resolution versions and AI generated images. There is no programming language, no installation, and no software functionality here. It is best understood as a lighthearted, community maintained image archive built around a single running joke, using GitHub's normal repository and pull request tools as the mechanism for people to add new entries to the collection.
