The 'Wrong Neighborhood Cats' meme features a group of cats staring intensely at the camera, mimicking a cinematic confrontation with a street gang. The most famous iteration stems from a 2011 photo of several cats on a porch, which was paired with the caption 'You came to the wrong neighborhood.' It subverts the typical 'cute cat' internet trope by portraying felines as menacing guardians of their territory. This format exploded across Reddit and Tumblr, spawning countless variations involving different animals, but the original gritty cat crew remains the definitive version of this tough-guy humor.
