In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “CashCats” is a common card of the Memes World series 73, number 21733 of the collection, and the 120th best-known meme of its 300 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “CashCats” meme mean?
This meme expresses gentle irony about human materialism by applying it to innocent animals. It subverts 'thug life' aesthetics and wealth symbols to suggest even cats desire riches. The primary emotion is amusement, often resonating in a post-financial crisis context where money is a sensitive or mocked topic.
Where does the “CashCats” meme come from?
The phenomenon originated on Tumblr, specifically through a blog created by Will Zweigart in early 2011. Unlike viral videos or TV shows, it functioned as a curated gallery. Zweigart selected user submissions featuring cats near cash, weapons, or diamonds. The concept spread because it merged two popular trends: internet cat culture and financial power aesthetics. Distribution later reached Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, turning isolated images into an instantly recognizable visual archetype for online communities.
