In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Catolfin” is a common card of the Memes FR pack, number 2084 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3496 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “Catolfin” meme mean?
Catolfin plays on an unlikely resemblance between an animal and a well-known figure. The fun lies in the mismatch: an ordinary cat picture, an invented name, and suddenly the image feels familiar. People use it to react to an accidental lookalike, to illustrate a strange mood, or to feed the absurd humor of group chats. It belongs to the vein of recycled forum pictures that came back through nostalgia.
Where does the “Catolfin” meme come from?
Catolfin circulates as a captioned image of a cat whose look recalls a famous character. The meme was resurfaced from the depths of 9GAG, the humor image-sharing site, before popping up again across French-speaking social networks. Part of its charm is the name, a portmanteau that sounds like an invented brand, and the gap between an everyday photo and the celebrity it evokes. It belongs to the wave of archive images put back into circulation out of nostalgia.
How to use the “Catolfin” meme
- Send the picture when a cat looks too much like a celebrity.
- Answer a friend’s absurd photo with the made-up name.
- Illustrate a nostalgic joke about old forums.
- Drop the word into a chat to confuse the uninitiated.

The reprint of the “Catolfin” card
The “Catolfin” card was reprinted as Rare (No. 3,464). A reprint is the same meme printed again, with a number of its own and a higher rarity than its first printing, which was common. Its face reads “Reprinted card · Higher rarity”.
Every printing is dealt in the packs of the Memes FR pack, each at its own rarity: the higher it is, the rarer the card is to pull. Copies of the first printing already pulled stay as they are, and any printing counts toward completing a set.
MyMemeCards reprints a meme when it deserves more than the rarity of its first printing, such as a classic that became iconic after it came out: the reprint gives it a place among the most sought-after cards without taking anything from the players who already had it.
