Tips for a Cat Meme That Actually Gets Shared
- Lead with the photo. The best cat memes start with a face doing something that already looks human — a raised "fist," a smug smirk, a wide-eyed "wow." Caption to the picture, not the other way around.
- Keep the text to a glance. If someone has to stop and read, you've lost them. A few words top and bottom is plenty.
- Make it relatable. The memes that travel are the ones where people see themselves — Monday mornings, snack time, ignoring responsibilities.
- Use high contrast text. White text with a dark outline reads on almost any photo; that's why it's the meme standard.
