Funny enough, the Japanese doesn’t have the word “the” per say. It most depends on context and how you translate it. Example: ねこは赤です -> literal translation: Cat red Now time to add some English words to make it sound ✨better✨ “The cat is red”
I think that's what the meme was trying to say.

Japanese has demonstratives like "that", just no articles.
'That' wasn't meant to be deleted, so thanks for pointing out typo. (Sorry if this is double posted)
