This meme features a real domestic cat dressed in a small checkered apron, standing on a wooden stool at a kitchen counter with its front paws resting on the surface, appearing to assist a person in a white chef-style coat. Above the image, a three-line dialogue creates the joke: 1. *"Next it says add catnip."* 2. *"You sure?"* 3. *"Yep, that's what it says."* The humor comes from the visual gag and double meaning: the cat is acting as a kitchen helper, but catnip is a plant that elicits a strong, playful reaction in cats, implying the cat will be the beneficiary of this recipe step, making the scenario silly and wholesome. The image plays on the trope of dressing pets in human attire to create a relatable, funny scenario about cats' love for catnip.
