If you don't know who Bongo cat is, Bongo cat is an animated meme that spread like mad in 2017. It featured a cat playing the bongos while the Mario theme song played. Soon enough, people began creating their own versions with different songs.

Animals have a range array of emotions and sometimes, we're able to capture that moment! That moment where they look like they star in a comedy, or drama, or even an action film! Their range can even beat some hooman actors!
