The woman yelling at a cat meme is one of the most well-known and widely-circulated meme formats, which has become essentially ubiquitous. Featuring one of our favorite meme pets, Smudge the Cat, this format is popular for how easy it is to manipulate and create a whole new meaning with the same hilarious image.

Smudge the Cat and his salad will always have a special place in our hearts, and over the years, we've found ways to tear this format apart over and over again. The results of this have been similarly amusing, and yet each meme brings something new and beautiful into our Smudge-filled online browsing. Like many meme formats, it has come to mean much more than it meant in the beginning — it has been riffed on, repurposed, and reframed more times than anyone can count. Follow along as we chronicle this transformation here, with 18 of the best and weirdest woman yelling at a cat memes out there.
