Sekhmet Palworld is a blue-and-gold anthropomorphic Egyptian cat-girl Pal that Pocketpair revealed in June 2026 ahead of the Palworld 1.0 launch on July 10, 2026. Her cat-girl design quickly drew comparisons to Ankha from Animal Crossing and spawned fan art, thirst posts, and reaction memes across X and Reddit.

Overview

Sekhmet Palworld is a blue-and-gold anthropomorphic cat-girl Pal from the creature-collecting game Palworld, designed in an Ancient Egyptian style and named after the lion-headed Egyptian goddess Sekhmet3. Pocketpair revealed her as one of the new Pals shipping with the Palworld 1.0 update on July 10, 2026, and the design quickly drew comparisons to Ankha from Animal Crossing1.

Within days of her unveil, Palworld players were openly thirsting over Sekhmet on X and Reddit1. Many fans argued Pocketpair styled her after Ankha to appeal to furries and gooners, pointing to the infamous Ankha Zone animation1. Like the earlier Pal Lovander, Sekhmet also picked up rule 34 art almost immediately after she was announced3.

How It Spread

Pocketpair kept teasing the Pal through June 2026 with a weekly content drop the company called Sekhmet Saturday. On June 20, 2026, the @Palworld_EN account posted a roughly 12-second clip of Sekhmet mining with a pickaxe and then stretching like a cat, with the caption "It's Sekhmet Saturday!". The video pulled in more than 29,000 likes in five days.

Reaction posts hit fast. The same day, X user @AufsVires replied with a "Please Do Not The Cat" edit that collected over 2,900 likes in four days. Three days later, @luci4ever4 shared fan art of Sekhmet in a Yoruichi-style stretch that picked up over 9,800 likes in a day. Also on June 23, X user @Oyxmox posted a Jack-O Crouch riff featuring Sekhmet that pulled over 1,700 likes inside 24 hours.

That same day, Dexerto published a write-up on Palworld fans thirsting over Sekhmet. A screenshot of Dexerto's tweet about the article was reposted to the /r/Palworld subreddit and climbed past 1,700 upvotes inside a day. A DeviantArt piece by xael-the-artist titled "Sekhmet Palworld" also circulated alongside the official teasers, contributing to the wider fan-art response.

How to Use This Meme

Posters typically pair the official Palworld renders or screenshots from Pocketpair's teaser clips with reaction templates such as "Please Do Not The Cat," the Yoruichi stretch, or Jack-O Crouch. Captions often lean on the Ankha comparison or on the open thirst the design pulled out of the Palworld community.
