Oh man, the fake PNG thing has burned me too, but here's the part nobody talks about: half those "free template" sites are just farming your clicks through three redirect pages before you even get the file. What I started doing is grabbing the cat screenshot from the original meme itself instead of hunting for a cutout, since the meme has been reposted so many times the compression actually adds to the ugly crying vibe. Screenshot, crop tight, done in two minutes, and it never comes out with a clear background. The one time I did find a real transparent PNG, it had a watermark hidden in the alpha channel that only showed up after I posted it.
