Sometimes the internet decides that an animal looks uncannily like a famous celebrity, and the comparison takes on a life of its own as it becomes a meme, such as the famous "Phil Foden Cat Lookalike."
That phenomenon is exactly what happened yet again, this time with a tabby cat wearing a curly black wig that bears a striking resemblance to Spanish footballer Marc Cucurella.
Known as the "Marc Cucurella Cat" meme, the viral video has become a favorite reaction image and GIF among many football and soccer fans, enjoying a massive resurgence during the 2026 FIFA World Cup as Spain captured the trophy.
So, where exactly did the meme come from, and who made it? Why did it become so popular to the point where Google even made a special Easter egg for it? Let's explain.
