10 Funniest Cat Memes of All Time
The internet loves cats and it’s no secret why: their weirdness has given us some of the funniest and most relatable content online. Memes about cats make us laugh and capture feline behavior in a way that every cat owner can understand. Let’s get into the top 10 funniest cat memes of all time and what makes them so iconic and universal.
1. Grumpy Cat
First up is the original Grumpy Cat, whose scowl took the internet by storm. What’s funny about Grumpy Cat is the contrast between her expression and typical cat behavior. Cats are often aloof or indifferent but Grumpy Cat’s permanent frown made her seem like someone who’s just done with it all. This amplified grumpiness is relatable to anyone who’s ever been annoyed by life’s little things.
2. Keyboard Cat
Keyboard Cat is another classic that never gets old. This meme shows a cat just chillin’ on the keyboard and it’s a great example of how cats can take over anything. The humor is in the fact that cats are supposed to be independent and often indifferent but here they’re musicians. It’s a perfect example of how weird cat behavior is and how we can’t help but love it.
3. Nope Cat
Nope, Cat is the embodiment of feline stubbornness. The meme shows a cat backing away or turning its head at something it doesn’t want. It’s funny because it’s exactly how cats react when they’re not interested in new food or unwanted affection. The “nope” attitude is something every cat owner is familiar with—cats do what they want when they want and we can’t help but laugh at their independence.
4. Hovercat
Hovercat is a fun meme that shows a cat appearing to be floating above the ground like it’s levitating. What’s funny about this meme is the idea that cats have supernatural powers, a funny exaggeration of their natural grace and agility. Cats are known for their balance and quick reflexes so a cat that defies gravity adds a whimsical element to their already impressive skills.
5. Nyan Cat
Nyan Cat is the internet’s love of cats and pixel art in a funny, weird animation of a cat with a Pop-Tart body flying through space leaving a rainbow trail behind it. It’s funny for its absurdity but also captures the playfulness and imagination of how cats live in their world. Just like cats often do random playful things, Nyan Cat is the embodiment of feline randomness.
6. Smudge the Cat (Woman Yelling at a Cat)
This meme shows a confused-looking white cat named Smudge sitting at a dinner table while a woman is yelling at him. The humor is twofold: first Smudge sitting at the table looking uninterested and second the woman yelling but the cat doesn’t care. Cats are oblivious to human emotions and this meme nails that.
7. Business Cat
Business Cat is a professional feline in a suit giving office advice or making corporate decisions. The humor is in the fact that a cat—known for lounging and doing very little—suddenly becomes the epitome of professionalism. This is how cats act like they’re in charge of everything even though they do the least work around the house.
8. Box Cat
Cats love to squeeze themselves into boxes of all shapes and sizes and Box Cat memes are all about that. What’s funny is how a cat can make itself comfortable in the most unlikely and uncomfortable-looking spaces. A large cat trying to fit into a small box is hilarious, it’s something cat owners know all too well: if it fits they sit.
9. Laser Pointer Cat
Every cat owner has spent hours watching their cat chase a laser pointer and Laser Pointer Cat memes are all about that. The humor is in the fact that the cat will never catch the laser but will continue to chase it with focus. It’s how cats do pointless activities with such dedication that makes their antics so funny.
10. Crying Cat
Crying Cat is a meme of a cat with a sad face, usually with a caption expressing sadness or despair. It’s relatable because we project human emotions onto our pets. While cats don’t cry, their faces can look surprisingly human and we laugh at how much they seem to “feel” like we do.
Why Cat Behavior is So Relatable What makes these memes so relatable is that cats mirror human emotions exaggeratedly and funnily. Whether it’s their indifference, curiosity, or aloofness, cats do behaviors that are easy to anthropomorphize. They’re unpredictable, independent, and often illogical which makes them the perfect subject for meme culture. Their behavior resonates with us because in many ways they’re like tiny, fur-covered humans.
