Smudge, or Smudge – Table Cat,  as he’s known on Instagram, is an adorable “chonk” of a cat who hates veggies, or as he refers to them “vegetals”.

This vexation with vegetables led to the “Woman Yelling at Cat” meme, which has earned Smudge a following of over one million fans on Instagram, plus worldwide recognition across the internet. His parents, Miranda and Zach, manage his website for him as Smudge is busy being a meme-lord.  At Smudge-Lord.com, fans can purchase merchandise emblazoned with the contemptuous face of legend.

He’s more than a funny face though. The handsome cat may looked confused and/or disillusioned with the world, but Miranda said in an interview with Bored Panda, “Smudge is a super shy, but very loving kitty once he gets to know you!”

Facts about His Lordship

Smudge is around 6 years old.

Smudge was adopted after his kitten days had passed. His exact age is unknown. Miranda said, “I didn’t get him as a kitten so I don’t know his exact age.” A full-grown cat he may be, but he still looks silly as a kitten.

Smudge is Canadian.

The famous cat and his family hail from Ottawa, Canada.

Smudge must have a seat the table.

His mom always makes sure he has a seat at the table. If not, Smudge will claim the first vacated seat. “If he doesn’t have a chair for some reason, he will jump onto someone else’s chair when they’re not there,” confessed Miranda.

Smudge detests more than just salad.

Once his parents discovered his ire at salad, they tested a range of foods. Turns out he hates more than vegetables. While he enjoys most meat offerings, Smudge doesn’t seem to care for chicken.
