This meme uses two side-by-side photos of a tabby cat to deliver a relatable joke about feline behavior. The top text sets up the punchline: *"THE ONE WEIRD THING ABOUT CATS IS THAT 'MURDER MODE' ISN'T THE FIRST PHOTO, BUT THE SECOND ONE:"*. The first cat has a glowering, menacing expression—what viewers might assume is a "murderous" look—while the second cat has wide, innocent-looking eyes. The joke plays on the common internet trope that cats often appear harmless while secretly plotting mischief, so the seemingly innocent wide-eyed stare is framed as the actual "murder mode," subverting audience expectations. It resonates with cat owners who recognize this deceptive, unsettling innocent expression in their pets.
