What does the “Cat flash bang” meme mean?
The image shows a cat caught on the spot, pupils blown wide, as if stunned by a sudden burst of light. It illustrates the moment you are blindsided by a light, a piece of bad news or an overly direct question. The term flash bang points to the stun grenade of shooter games, hence the joke: a feline hit by a flash attack and unable to react.
