Cats Are Teenage Girls

Text on the meme

Y-You own cats, right? -Yes. -And there's cats here, too. JAMES: But they're not cats, they're teenage girls.

What it means

James May walks through a busy Japanese street with a companion and asks whether he owns cats. They pass a cat-themed maid café display, and James jokes that the “cats” are actually teenage girls dressed as cat maids. The clip is used as an absurd reaction to someone confusing a cat-themed setting or people with actual cats.
