Wing Commander Meme of the Day: Awkward Moment Sealion (June 4, 2018)

Kitty litter can mean 'a batch of cat babies', the stuff cats urinate and defecate into if they are kept inside, or that someone is littering (throwing out bits of garbage) with kitty chunks. It's sounds kind of disturbing said like that though.

1) small pieces of rubbish that have been left lying on the ground in public places
2) a group of animals that are born at the same time and have the same mother

I think it's just that kitty litter, the poop sand, is named after the pile of babies, a litter of kittens.
 
It's a double/triple meaning which is, by definition, a pun. Puns don't just use similar sounding words though that's more often how I think of them and how we see them.

Definition of pun
the usually humorous use of a word in such a way as to suggest two or more of its meanings or the meaning of another word similar in sound
 
I demand to be reimbursed for that meme! It was too obscure and unrelated to WC to pass the regulatory standards of memetic humour (form A38 on the KilrathiKoin subscriber plan).
