This is a variation on a well-known saying: the early bird catches the worm. It is intended to emphasise that you should tackle things early in order to be successful. The origin goes back to the fact that worms are mainly found on the surface of the earth in the dampness of dawn.
The version with the cat and the bird is a humorous variation that ironically comments on the fate of the early bird. It alludes to the fact that the nocturnal cat is a natural enemy of the bird and could catch it if it comes out of its nest too early. You could also say: birds that sing too early are caught by the cat in the evening.
In any case, there is a lot going on in this black and white graphic in the popular style of a well-known artist. If you like the somehow harmonious chaos, then this picture is for you.
