They are more than likely checking to see that the wingfold pin has dropped. There is a small “pin” about the size of a soda can, and painted, that protrudes on the top of the wing at the wingfold to indicate that the the wings are not locked in the spread position. This pin is up when the wings are folded. As the jet taxies to the cat and spreads its wings, the wings spread, and as they lock, the pin falls into place leaving a flush upper surface. The aircrew can check both sides and there are final checker ground crew that double check by jumping up to look along the top of the wing.
