Welcome back to Meme of the Month! Memes are being created everyday and are wildly popular in today’s society. The meme on top this month is the “Women vs. Cat” meme. This amusing meme has been dominating several social media platforms throughout the past month.
The viral “Woman vs. Cat” meme depicts a picture of a yelling, blond-haired, teary-eyed woman side by side to a picture of a confused looking cat sitting at a table in front of a plate of vegetables. The way that the two images are placed next to each other makes it appear as if the woman is yelling at the cat.
The image of the woman originates from a 2011 episode of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” when cast member Taylor Armstrong found herself in an emotional fight with a fellow housewife. After Armstrong saw that an image of herself was used in the viral meme, she shared her hilarious reaction of herself laughing extremely hard at the original meme and everyone's own creations of it.
The cat in the meme is also rather famous. His name is Smudge because he has a grey “smudge” of hair on his face. Smudge has a famous instagram page, @Smudge_Lord, where his owner, Miranda, posted the comical photo. This picture of Smudge did not become famous until Tumbler user @deadbeforedeath shared the now viral picture on Tumblr in June 2018. After gaining a mass amount of followers, Miranda began to post many cat memes and now has over 1.5 million followers on Instagram.
Creating a “Women vs. Cat” meme is very simple. One must place two images side by side and come up with a clever caption to place above the two photos. The first person to create their own meme in this manner was Twitter user @missingegirl.
It is so easy to hop onto this meme trend. For starters, find a collage making app. You can use Instagram’s collaging app, Pic Collage, Photovisi, Pic Stitch etc. Once you choose an app, put the two photos together and come up with a clever heading or situation to share with others.
Since its creation, the “Women vs. Cat” meme has been retweeted and shared so many times that it had to be crowned as this month’s Meme of the Month. Social media users continue to use this meme format to display their creativity and sense of humor to others, however, hilarious new memes are being created and shared by thousands of people every single day. The “Woman vs. Cat” meme will inevitably be replaced with a more popular meme in the near future. Enjoy the “Women vs. Cat” meme while it is still in the spotlight because a new meme will likely take its crown next month!
