What is Woman Yelling At Cat (WYAC)?

On May 1, 2019, the Woman Yelling at Cat meme was born when Twitter user @MISSINGEGIRL paired together two images. The image on the left was taken from the "Malibu Beach Party from Hell" episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, featuring Taylor Armstrong yelling and being held back by Kyle Richards. The photo on the right is an image of a cat named Smudge, seated at a dinner table with a plate of salad in front of him, looking confused.

In the months and years since, the meme has sparked countless variations and remixes. One notable WYAC meme was created on October 13, 2019, by Kucing Menangid who posted a remix of the woman yelling at cat meme on Facebook. The video swaps out Smudge for Thurston Waffles and brought a live version to the meme which is popular in gifs of the meme today. As a result of the meme's widespread popularity, Woman Yelling at Cat won Meme of the Year in 2020 at the Shorty Awards.

This meme took the world by storm and became one of the most viral and recognizable memes to date. It has become a staple of internet culture and is often cited as one of the most well-known memes worldwide. Woman Yelling At Cat is loved by all ages and genders, and is still a goto meme in present day for depicting opposing view points.

WYAC has now entered its next phase of life as a memecoin, to continue spreading laughs online, while immortalizing its legacy on the Solana blockchain.
