A color comic panel shows an elderly woman with gray hair sitting in an orange armchair, petting an orange cat in her lap, with a green antenna-topped device on a side table. A speech bubble coming from the cat reads, "Oh f--k yeah. Oh, right there, bitch. Yeah, right there." The caption below reads: "Excitement over the Cat Translator died off quickly." The joke: a device that translates a cat's contented petting into crude, aggressive human speech makes the experience unpleasant. The black-and-white votey (aftercomic) shows a woman with glasses smiling and saying, "Ha! I get it. The cat hates Mondays," referencing Garfield; a bearded man then looks down sadly and replies, "Why you gotta make me sad?"
