The comic depicts a feed on a page for people discussing their cat, similar to Twitter or Facebook, which would be the only kind of place where the substitution is really funny. Apart from known characters like two looking like [[Cueball]], [[Megan]] and [[Ponytail]], there is also a person with black hair, not looking particularly like any standard characters, and then a person with a [[1350:_Lorenz#Knit_Cap_Girl|knit cap]], which could be the same knit cap wearing user that was also used in [[1506: xkcloud]] (see the [[1506:_xkcloud/Transcript#User_pictures| pictures of the users]]).

In the title text there is another cat related status update regarding a cat sitting on a keyboard. Given the fact that one of the earlier substitution comics from before the [[1288: Substitutions|three]] ''[[1625: Substitutions 2|Substitution]]'' [[1679: Substitutions 3|comics]], was [[1031: s/keyboard/leopard/]] that replaced keyboard with leopard, many [[#Discussion|fans of xkcd]] were a little disappointed that the title text did not read: ''I can't get any work done because my friend Catherine is sitting on my leopard.''
