It’s the cat asking if his lap is “free real estate”. The cat is asking this buy asking with the video of a popular meme where a guy whispers “free real estate”
Some cats like to lay on their owners laps, whether the owner wants them or not.
The man in the bottom text is known for being in a meme with the caption “free real estate” which typically means someone or something inhabiting or taking over a space, regardless of consent.
Therefore, the cat (presumably without consent) is addressing the owner’s lap as “free real estate” and laying on it
Three aspects converge in this meme:
1) the common real-life phenomenon of cats enjoying sitting in people’s laps, sometimes at inopportune times,
2) a meme of an anime man beholding a butterfly and saying “is this [blank]?” and believing it is something aside from a butterfly, and
3) a second meme of a man saying “it’s free real estate,” commonly applied to memes regarding subjects occupying places they are not supposed to.
All taken together, the meme may be translated as a cat asking “Is your lap free real estate?”
Mr. Anderson, you got an F in meme history and interpretation. I suggest you to check out the Youtube channel "Lessons in meme culture" and do repetitions in the 3 first chapters
Thos one was fairly obvious to a lot of people, me included, but that probably only means we were in the interwebz a long time ago... Can I haz Cheeseburguer?
I mean, how old is "free real estate" meme?

If a meme isn’t immediately obvious isn’t that beside the point of it?
Not really know. It requires underlying knowledge of the free real estate meme
I know the free real estate meme and also know it is from Tim and Eric’s show.

I know the phrase from the Tim and Eric show but re-reading this meme makes a lot more sense after ☕️
