Cucurella Cat meme template

Cucurella Cat is a meme format on WhatiMeme. Used to compare two people, versions of someone, roles, or situations that look or feel uncannily alike—often “this is basically the same energy,” identical vibes, or a humorous “spot the difference” where there is almost none. The cat-with-wig stands in for one side of the comparison and Cucurella for the other.

A split image with two side-by-side photos. On the left, a tabby cat sits facing forward wearing a large, voluminous black curly wig that covers its body like a mane. On the right, a close-up of a man with long, dark curly hair, a beard, and a red Spain national football jersey with the team crest and Adidas logo, looking slightly upward against a blue background.

How to write this meme

Pick two things that are supposedly different but feel the same, and put the weaker/funnier version on the left and the “real” or matching version on the right. Keep both labels short so the visual resemblance does the heavy lifting.

Caption zones

Left panel — Labels what the cat-with-wig represents (the first person, version, or situation)
Right panel — Labels what Cucurella represents (the matching or “identical” counterpart)

Example captions

Left panel: Me after one haircut
Right panel: Me after “just a trim”

Both sides look the same, so the joke is that the haircut changed nothing.

Left panel: My resume
Right panel: My LinkedIn photo

Plays on the idea that both are the same polished, slightly fake version of you.

Left panel: Group project contribution
Right panel: The one person who did everything

Ironic role swap—cat and Cucurella look alike so the “contribution” and the real worker are framed as the same face.

Left panel: Me explaining the plan
Right panel: Me executing the plan

Deadpan admission that talk and action look identical (i.e., both chaotic or both frozen).

Left panel: I’ll only watch one episode
Right panel: 4 a.m. still watching

Same face/energy for the promise and the outcome; the resemblance sells the inevitable failure.

Common mistakes

Writing long sentences that cover the faces
Labeling only what is literally in the photo
Making the two sides unrelated so the likeness joke dies
Using the same caption on both sides with no twist
Forcing a complex story instead of a clean A-vs-B parallel
