In the pictures, the kitty is seen smiling gleefully as if he just told a joke that is so bad it’s good.

And some people took it one step further and began creating their own “dad joke” memes with the pics as a template.

Thanks to the meme, Chestnut has amassed over 23 thousand followers – not bad for a little kitty!

His adorable little face and wonderfully meme-able expression quickly garnered him many fans.

Now, many people just know him as the “dad joke” cat.
