Smurf Cat

Smurf Cat , Blue Mushroom Cat or We Live We Love We Lie , originally called Шайлушай or Shailushai in Russian, is a meme that began on the Russian speaking internet which gained popularity on TikTok in August 2023 in photo slideshows . The meme centers around an image of a blue, elf-like creature with a mushroom head and a cat's face, designed similarly to a Smurf. The creatures are called "Шайлушай" in the Impact font captions, which is basically a gibberish word in Russian but is similar to the word "шалопай" which translates to "the scamp" meaning "little scoundrel" in Russian. They're depicted walking through a forest with a snail hanging from a stick (similar to a bindle ). The predominant TikTok sound was the song "The Spectre" by Alan Walker, specifically the lyrics " We live. We love. We lie. " The original image of the creature was created by artist Nate Hallinan in 2011, titled "Smurf Sighting." In September 2023, the Arabic Strawberry Elephant meme began going viral on TikTo
