5 Cat Meme Predictions for 2012

Let’s face it, cats permeate every part of our world.  They just do.  They can’t help it that they’re so funny when put in awkward situations.  They can’t help how cute they are when pawing at a human’s face repeatedly.  They just can’t help it, which means that cat memes will be here for as long as man and catkind exist.  Around every new bend a new cat meme awaits us, and as we’re approaching the year 2012 in just one short month, it’s important we discuss the future of cat memes.  Obviously.

Below are our predictions for five cat memes that we think will take the interwebs by storm.  So be prepared, get your photoshoppin’ skills set to go, so you can contribute to the cats of the new year! 

Lady Gaga Cats

The Queen of Pop is no stranger to cat behavior.  Her signature claw move is an obvious homage to the cat community and there’s no better way to honor cats, who basically made her a success by lending their quirks to her, than to do a string of Lady Gaga Cats.  So go put a cat face on your fave Lady Gaga photo and whip up some cat-inspired Lady Gaga lyrics, and you’ll have yourself a fierce cat meme photo for the ages. 

Occupy Fat Cats

Cat-Meme-1
We’ve all heard the news that cats are the 1%.  But it’s time to get out there and fight the good fight by spreading the word about Fat Cats eating ALL the fancy feast!  Pull images of cats enjoying the finer things in life and let the world know it’s time to OCCUPY them!

Cats Riding Unicorns

Cat-Meme-2
We here at Comediva have an affinity for something very special: unicorns.  This means we can’t imagine a meme about cats without unicorns.  Really, what kind of site would we be if we didn’t allow a cat to take a ride on a unicorn as it reaches for its heart’s desire.  Yes, reaching for fishies, mice, cat nip — there’s no better way to reach for your dreams than while riding a unicorn.

Cat GLEEKS

With all the catty fighting on Glee why wouldn’t there be a cat meme for Gleeks everywhere?  Cat Gleeks sing, Cat Gleeks dance, Cat Gleeks come out of the closet at least twice a season.  Hurrah!  

Tyra Tabby

Need we say more?  Tyra Banks is a delightful combination of cheese, beauty and raawwwrrr, so naturally Tyra Tabby is a meme that’s not too far off in the horizon.  Stick Tyra Tabby in any Tyra pose and give the kitty its signature, crazy-ass, made-up word or phrase.  Pot Ledom, anyone?
