That Cat Meme

[Danja]

By now, I know you've seen this split-screen meme of a lady yelling at a cat. It's one of the greatest gems the Internet has given to us lately:

Bravo/@smudge

The meme is a combo between Taylor Armstrong, a star on the TV show The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and the white cat, Smudge. Twitter user @Missingegirl put the two images together back in May and we were given one the best memes of all time. I can't get enough!

How many times have you seen a variation of this meme on social media?

I KNEW she was a Real Housewife (I thought she was in New York. Turns out she's in Beverly Hills.)

I posted it in the Cat thread, there's already a t-shirt of this guy.

Weirdly enough, I googled the history of this meme today. I’d seen it a lot lately and wondered where it came from. Even weirder, google completed the search terms as soon as I’d typed in “history of woman...”. Am now convinced it can read my mind.

I saw a particularly good variation on it which had Bones as the crying woman, Kirk as the one restraining her and Spock as the cat!

Edit - since my post, I’ve also seen on twitter this meme done as a couple’s pair of Christmas jumpers - one with the women, one with the cat!

The cat, Smudge, is Canadian! Specifically, from Ottawa, our nation's capital.
