A three-panel comic. In the first two panels, a laughing woman jokes to friends about how you buy a whole cat tower but the cat only wants the box, and they all laugh "HAHAHAHAHA." Beside her, an unamused brown cat sits next to a cat tower. In the final panel, the cat sits inside a cardboard box thinking, "Maybe if I sit here, someone will ship me out of this hell" — reframing the cute meme as the cat wanting to escape its life. Votey: a woman holding a baby asks a bearded man, "Do you hate when other people are happy?" He flatly answers, "So much."
