No, I can’t. I’m not sure I even understand what the “correct” thing I’m supposed to like to look at and want to reblog.

The closest I come to having a favorite cat meme is this one

which is apparently my favorite meme of all time. I used to like it a lot as a small child because it was visually comforting to me and I liked all the cats being “just like me,” with no differences between the animals. When I started understanding that each of these cats was “different” in some subtle way, I would instead prefer that meme

I think it’s the same idea, except there are more cats.

There were a lot of variations on “cats with various expressions” in the early days of tumblr (which was where I got my taste for cat memes). One of my favorites was this one

I still like it, but the “correct” thing these days is “cats looking into the camera and making some facial expression and one of their eyes looking very intently and a little bit like a human eye,” so I don’t really have much use for it. (It’s been done to death.)

I feel like the way you talk about cats, you would prefer this one

to your “one of their eyes looking intently and a little bit like a human eye” meme because it is the only one where there are two very clearly different categories of cats. “Intent eye” and “sleepy, oblivious eye”
