The humor derives from the sheer absurdity of placing a creature as soft as a "Milky Cat" into the hyper-masculine, violent world of DMC. Artists often depict the white cat wearing Dante’s red leather jacket or wielding the massive sword, the Rebellion. The visual comedy is immediate: the cat is tiny and round, while the weaponry is jagged and deadly. This falls under the internet trope of the "powerful baby"—a character that looks weak but is implied to be god-tier. The idea of a Milky Cat achieving an "SSS Rank" by batting a ball of yarn is a funny subversion of the game's intense difficulty.
Music is the soul of both DMC and the Milky Cat meme. The trend often uses: DMC 5's "Bury the Light"

In the context of "Milky Cat," this refers to a specific color palette used to replicate the soft, off-white, and cream-colored fur characteristic of certain feline breeds like Siamese or Ragdolls.
So, the next time you see a pale white kitten wielding a sword the size of its body, or a cross-stitch of a tabby wearing a gold chain, you will know what to call it.
