Behind the recordWhere it came from
There is no original upload to identify: this Moment did not begin as one. What it began as is recorded here, and what is shown is a later copy.
Nothing here is claimed to be the first publication of this Moment, because the first publication was not an upload. This Moment began as a photograph, not as a video. Originally published on Reddit.
Not established. This index only names a creator where the evidence supports it.
- What happens
- A photo classified under cats.
- When
- The sources below date the original to 2012-09-22. ViralWorld records this as a cited claim rather than an established publication date, because it holds no copy to check it against.
Where this survives
The same thing, held on another platform. Each link says what that copy is; none of them is claimed to be the original, and Share above stays with ViralWorld either way.
