- The Cat Bed-Pat Meme
Trying to get a cat to come over? Apparently, a little pat on the bed is all it takes.
This TikTok meme shows someone patting an empty spot on the bed to get their cat to come closer. The footage is paired with a caption that gives the familiar gesture a funny or relatable twist.

- The Dog Countdown
Why feature just one dog when you can make a whole countdown out of it?
WeRateDogs turns dog videos into a video series, using narration and a countdown structure to introduce different pups. Each clip gets its own moment, while the commentary keeps the video moving from one dog to the next.
