Woman yelling at a cat

Smudge, the white cat at the dinner table Smudge's half of the meme began as a stand-alone photo on Tumblr in June 2018: a white cat seated at a dinner table behind a plate of greens, wearing a look of pure contempt, captioned "he no like vegetals." In 2019 a Twitter user paired it with a tearful, shouting Taylor Armstrong from "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," and the two-panel argument became one of the defining formats of the year. It is the best example here of a remix creating the fame. Neither image went far alone; together they became a template for every unhinged accusation and unbothered reply. Smudge, an Ottawa cat, never had to do anything but sit there.
