(Presenting a weekly feature where we display an LOLcat picture and overanalyze the caption, in relation to the photo.)

This is about recovering from drug use. The kitten is on the path to recovery from a hard life addicted to cocaine, or meth (it’s impossible to say which, judging by this picture). He is trying to leave behind his drug-addled world — hard, slippery, and far from those he loves. He makes the leap of faith, and is so close he can taste it — a world that is cushy, full of people he loves.

He just didn’t realize the transition would be so hard, for in between drug use and recovery, lies a bottomless pit of withdraw. He’s stuck in this transition, and it seems inevitable that he will fall into the depths. He is expressing second thoughts at having tried to make the leap alone.
