Woman vs cat

Around 2019 a meme became viral. On the left side a woman was seen crying while pointing a finger. On the right side, we see a beautiful white fluffy cat seated at a table, has a plate full of green vegetables. The cat has disappointment on its face. This image became a meme material.

In reality, these were two separate images. The image with the woman was from a famous American reality show. It is a snippet from an emotional scene. Whereas the other image belonged to a cat Smudge. Smudge hated vegetables. The photo was taken at a restaurant when a plate of vegetables was placed in front of him. The disgust is clearly visible on his face. Two images had no connection. However, I must say the person who merged these images is a genius. He or she may not have realised that they had created an internet legend.

The merged image became a viral meme fuel. Several memes were released where the woman would say something emotional and the cat would say something sarcastic or funny. The meme became an instant hit for two reasons. The reality show was famous in America and had a strong fanbase. The other and the most important reason was the cats have a gigantic global fanbase. The meme received approval from the internet.

The meme benefitted the reality tv star. She was famous but the meme made her internet famous. Overnight she gained millions of followers across her social media account. She was all over the media, giving interviews, selling merchandise, and enjoying her fame. Her costars became jealous of her. They had alleged that the meme made her famous whereas their work on the reality tv show made them famous. They did not need internet for fame (sour grapes I guess).

The meme benefitted the cat, Smudge a lot. Smudge belonged to a common family with no connection or fame. Overnight he became an internet sensation. He achieved the superstardom which most can only dream of. Smudge gained followers and became fan favorite. Of course who does not like a fluffy cat. Smudge was a handsome boy and the internet fell in love with him instantly. Smudge gained more popularity that the woman.

The trend of these memes were unstoppable. The phenomenon of woman vs cat had blown the internet. So much so that the reality tv star met Smudge and that photo and video reached a new level of "viral". The memes kept growing and the internet kept loving them. Seven years from the inception, these memes still exist all over the internet. These still pop up in random social media posts. They still have the capacity to go viral and they do.

For me, these memes hold a special place in my heart. I am a cat lover. I love seeing cat posts on social media. I would rather watch cat videos than watching videos of influencers. I loved the memes of woman vs cat, mainly because of the cat. At one point, I used to share at least one meme per day of this type with my friends and family. Even today when I find an interesting meme of the woman vs cat, I still share it and people love it. I believe the memes of woman vs cat are here to stay, mainly because they are funny and because of the cute Smudge.

You may have noticed that I have mentioned the name of the cat but not the woman. The reason is that I had researched the cat but I was not interested in knowing anything about the reality star. I am on that spetrum of internet that loves cats more than humans. That was an interesting crossover of the reality TV and cat. I hope to see more like these in the future.
