Cursed Cat

2018image macroclassic

Cursed Cat is a photoshopped image of a black cat, edited into a comically angry bipedal creature. It began circulating in late 2018 and hit peak use in early 2019, first as the Russian caption meme "ъуъ съука" and then as the English-language "angry as fuk" reaction image on Reddit.

Overview

Cursed Cat is an image macro built from a photoshopped picture of a black cat crossing a road, warped into a bipedal creature with an angry, hunched pose3. The edit sits inside the wider "cursed images" genre, where mundane photos are altered into something visually off, and the cat's stiff, twisted stance is the whole joke2.

The image runs in two parallel versions. In Russia, it carries the caption "ъуъ съука" and works as a reaction image tied to the absurdist "ъеъ" trend on VK1. In English, a cropped version is captioned "angry as fuk" and gets used as a plain anger reaction on Reddit4.

How It Spread

Starting in January 2019, Russian users paired the edit with the caption "ъуъ съука" and folded it into the "ъеъ" meme trend. The parent "ъеъ" format had started on VK in August 2018 and hit peak use around late October, so Cursed Cat rode the tail of that wave as a fresh reaction image inside it1. Captioned versions spread across notable VK communities and Twitter over the following weeks3.

The English-language jump happened on March 13th, 2019, when Redditor Norixon posted a cropped version relabeled "angry as fuk" to /r/dank_meme, where it pulled over 27,800 upvotes in two days4. In the days after, remixed captions and new templates of the same cat piled up in /r/dankmemes and other subreddits3.

How to Use This Meme

The typical use is as a pure anger reaction. Post the cropped cat with a short caption describing something petty or frustrating, often above or below the image in bold Impact-style text. Russian-flavored posts commonly keep the original "ъуъ съука" caption, while English posts default to "angry as fuk" or a custom line of dialogue.
