The cat looks a lot like my cat.
Cat, Ollie, who has yellow eyes, and grey, brown, white coloring with black stripes. Ollie is sitting on top an air purifier in an apartment.

Infographic from millions missing voice (on Instagram) with blue background and white and yellow text. Titled: T Cell Exhaustion in ME/CFS. White text with black background has been added by me to say "COVID exhausts t cells. One of the most common long COVID types is ME. Protect yourself & others from getting this condition by masking, staying home when sick & testing"
