About Confused Monkey

The "Confused Monkey" meme, despite its popular nickname, actually features a white Persian cat striking a human-like pose. This image rose to prominence around 2016-2017, often seen on platforms like 9GAG. The meme is primarily used to express extreme confusion, disbelief, or a general sense of bewilderment. Its wide-eyed, slightly disoriented look and gesturing paws perfectly capture the feeling of being utterly dumbfounded by a situation or statement. It's frequently deployed in response to absurd news, unexpected events, or anything that leaves one thinking "what just happened?" or "I don't understand."
