The meme features a candid photo of a black-and-white domestic dog lying on a white bed sheet, with its mouth gently wrapped around the head of a tabby cat. The cat has wide, anxious-looking eyes, while the dog appears calm and relaxed. A text overlay at the top of the image reads 'Friends are not food'.
