Found this ~7 month old kitty hanging around my shop May 31st. Super friendly with everyone. Covered in grime, dirt, oil, etc. Decided to bring him home and let him live the life he deserves since he's a good dude.

This is a two-panel meme featuring a real cat using a clever forced perspective trick. The accompanying text reads: "Few days ago we feed her. Then she disappeared and suddenly come with this kitten." In the left panel, the cat's tail is positioned to perfectly mimic a small kitten curled up in front of her, creating the illusion that she has returned with a baby cat after being fed.

The humor comes from the unexpected optical illusion, playing into the wholesome trope of a stray cat bringing her young to people who helped her, subverted by the silly visual gag.
