Variable not initialized and hides in field

I'm fairly new to java, so I don't understand why i'm getting an initialization error. In the code my integer "Memes" is saying that it might not have been initialized and that a local variable hides in field.

 private void totalUpdate(int yes){


     if (yes==1){
             int CompBot = Integer.parseInt(lblbotComp.getText());
     int CompTop = Integer.parseInt(lbltopComp.getText());
     int CompMid = Integer.parseInt(lblmidComp.getText());

                int Memes = Memes + CompBot + CompTop + CompMid;
          lbltotalComp.setText("Computer has earned "+ Memes +" points in total");
}
    }
 private void pointUpdate(int points){
     pointsUser = pointsUser + points ;
     lbluserPointsEst.setText (""+pointsUser+"");
 }

 private void computerPointUpdate(int pointComp){
     pointsComputer = pointsComputer + pointComp ;
     lblcompPointsEst.setText (""+pointsComputer+"");
 }

 private int play(int points){
int score;
int randomScore = (int)((100 -1 +1)*Math.random() +1);
 if (randomScore < points){
     score = points;
     }
    else{
   score = 100;
    }

return score;
 }

 private int playComp(int pointsComp){
int score;
int randomScore = (int)((100 -1 +1)*Math.random() +1);
 if (randomScore < pointsComp){
     score = pointsComp;
     }
    else{
   score = 100;
    }

  return score;
 }

        private int Memes = 0;
        private final Timer messageTimer;
        private int pointsComputer = 0;
        private int pointsUser = 0;
        private int count;
