Cat with Something to Say: I Will Reveal All the Truths to You - Japanese Owners Share This Photo Trend

Recently, cat owners in Japan have been sharing photos of their cats displaying expressions that seem to convey deep thoughts, as if they have something to say. These images are often paired with the phrase "I will tell you the whole truth," which has sparked a viral trend. Interestingly, the originator of this trend began sharing cat photos last year (2023) in hopes of starting a movement, but it took over a year for it to gain popularity. The unpredictable nature of internet culture is truly fascinating!

In July 2023, a Japanese X user known as "っしゃ" shared a photo of their cat along with the caption "I will tell you the whole truth." Initially, they hoped this would encourage other pet owners to share similar photos, but it did not garner much attention at the time. Recently, however, this user reposted their original article and expressed their desire for the phrase "I will tell you the whole truth" to become popular, noting that there seemed to be no signs of it catching on.

Unexpectedly, once this post was shared again, many pet owners began to respond by sharing their own cats' photos with similar expressions, effectively igniting the trend!
