Woman yelling at a cat (en.wikipedia.org)

Woman yelling at a cat is an Internet meme first used in a post by Twitter user @MISSINGEGIRL on May 1, 2019. It juxtaposes two images: on the left, a screen capture of "Malibu Beach Party from Hell", an episode from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, depicting cast member Taylor Armstrong crying and pointing (held back by Kyle Richards); and a picture uploaded to Tumblr in June 2018, depicting a cat from Ottawa, Ontario, Smudge, sitting at a dinner table behind a salad with a seemingly bemused expression.

Idk why but this meme has always unsettled me. I think it’s the facial expression on the cat which I can never pin down. Is it sort of laughing as the article implies (“bemused”) or is it’s jaw agape because it’s at a loss for words? Or is it disgusted as the original cat meme seemed to imply (No like vegetals). This dissonance always drives me nuts and I have to read the text of the meme and try to guess which of these the author meant. I am hopeless but it drives me nuts sometimes haha.

I think the cat looks like Josh Brolin, which unsettles me.
