The meme is a low-quality, blurry edited photograph of three cats wearing black ski masks/balaclavas, posed to look like a tough, anti-establishment gang. Text overlaid at the bottom of the image presents a joke: "What's the difference between cats and dogs? 'Cats don't work for the cops'". The joke draws humor from the common use of dogs in police K9 units, contrasting this with the popular perception of cats as independent, uncooperative, and unwilling to follow orders that would align them with law enforcement, which matches the edgy gang aesthetic of the masked cats.
