About
Knife Cat refers to an edit of Smug Cat's face photoshopped onto a picture of a cat being threatened with a knife. The image has been frequently used in photoshops and artwork.
Origin
The image of the cat being threatened by a knife originates from a post on pikabu of a scared cat being threatened by a knife with the title "threats will not work".[1] The image was first posted on July 9th, 2014 by user kimax06 and has since gained over 1 thousand likes.
The "Knife Cat" image is a combination of the above image and Smug Cat. The first instance of the two pictures being combined is in a gallery on Imgur entitled "Scaredy cat", posted on March 12th, 2015 by Imgur[3] user SnapTucker. In the gallery, the first photo is a merge of the two images, and the second photo is the original body image with a second knife (shown below).
Spread
On November 29th, 2015 a post titled "knife cat theme" containing the Smug Knife Cat image paired with the song Megalovania was published by the Animal Music Themes[4] Tumblr blog. Within four months, the post has gained over 50 thousand notes. The same day, Tumblr[6] user gayvoid submitted the original Smug Cat image with the tags "#knife cat"[7] and "the truth revealed." On January 6th, 2016, a photoshop of the knife pointed at the Osomatsu-san character Tomodatsu was posted by Tumblr user Novactis.[5]
