A four-panel comic. Panel 1: a woman holding an orange cat announces she built a cat translator so they can know what Scruffles (the cat) is saying. Panel 2: she holds the cat up to a translator monitor, which displays the cat's sound as 'MOW.' Panel 3: the cat says 'AWWWW...' through the translator and the woman gushes, 'He thinks he's people!' Panel 4: the translator screen now displays the cat's real message in ominous block text: 'EXTERMINATE ALL NON-ORANGE CATS. THEY ARE THE INFERIOR RACES.' The joke: the adorable pet is secretly plotting genocide of non-orange cats. Votey: a yellow note reads 'KILL THEM ALL!' as an orange cat peeks in from the lower-right corner with a sly, satisfied grin.
