ChineseMemesChinese cat memes
Cats run the sticker economy everywhere; Chinese chats are no exception. The biggest name is a round blue cat from Taiwan.
Capoo 咖波 — framed accurately
Capoo is a cat character created by a Taiwanese illustrator, and it is popular across the whole Chinese-speaking internet — in Taiwan, mainland China and the diaspora alike. That framing matters: Capoo's fame is a Chinese-language internet story, not a single-country one. The character's blank, round-eyed stare is the product: one expression that works for joy, confusion and mild existential dread.
Why cats dominate sticker packs
Cats offer what chat needs most: strong emotion, zero words, no offence. A cat sticker can greet, thank, apologise or react without the sender risking tone. Cat packs are also endlessly extensible — the same cat in a costume for every festival is a business model as much as a meme.
The supporting cast
Beyond named characters, generic cat photos with blunt captions are a staple of Chinese reaction culture, often paired with panda-head-style editing. The finder below surfaces the cat and pet entries in our library.
Frequently asked questions
Where is Capoo from?
Capoo was created by a Taiwanese illustrator and became popular across the Chinese-speaking internet, including very large followings in mainland China. This site describes it as Taiwanese-created and Chinese-internet-popular — both halves matter.
Are cat memes safe to send at work?
Generally yes: mainstream cat stickers read as cute and neutral. As with any sticker, match the energy of the chat — a cat can greet, but it cannot deliver bad news.
