Huh cat meme explained: the original clip, the sound and how to remake it

By ReelMe team · Updated 2026-11-01

The cat is called Ben, and he belongs to a TikTok creator who posts about him. In the original video Ben pulls a series of expressive faces while meowing loudly at his owner; that upload has since been deleted, which is why so many people search for the “huh cat original”. What survives are reposts, so the copies you find online vary in length and quality.

The famous “huh?” is not quite Ben's own audio. Meme makers laid a “huh” sound over the part of the clip where his mouth opens, and the earliest meme use Know Your Meme lists is from December 2022. The pairing is so tight that most viewers assume the cat really said it. Before it settled as “Huh cat”, the same footage also circulated as a “bruh” reaction.

From there it became a building block. The green-screen version lets editors drop Ben into any scene, which is how you get the Rambling Goat mash-up (a talking goat followed by Ben's reply) and countless sketches where the cat reacts to bad news, exam results or a friend's terrible idea. “Huh cat capcut” searches mostly look for that green-screen clip or a sound to sync.

A green screen or CapCut edit lets you place the original Ben into your video; it can't turn your own cat into the one going “huh?”. That is the gap the ReelMe template fills: it rebuilds the close-up with your cat's face, rug and all, and keeps the timing of the sound.

The shot is a close-up of the face, so the photo matters more than usual. Pick one where your cat looks straight at the camera, eyes open and mouth closed, in good light. Round-faced and chubby cats sell the joke best, but any cat with a clear, front-facing photo works.
