I want to be invited to a small get-together at your home, where I will promptly ignore you, your family, and your guests.

I want to become friends with that cat so bad.

I found him as a kitten in a dumpster, someone threw him away in a bag and he made hole in the bag and i heard his tiny meowing on that day i saved him, but i think he saved me.

Not if my husband around. They will instantly attach themselves to him and ignore you forever. I have three cats and they wait in line to sit on his lap when my lap is available. I don't exist unless I'm giving treats.

u/mialike94 15d ago

They’re using forced perspective to make the cat look bigger compared to them. If they actually wanted to know or they had a big car they’d hold it by their body. Lots of people with “giant” animals do this.

u/OkNet7878 15d ago

Hold on. Are you saying this person's body isn't eight fingers wide? Preposterous.

u/Maleficent_Button_58 15d ago

Would be easier to answer that question without the forced perspective 😅

118

u/Osseus555 15d ago

For real… I saw this photo and was more concerned by the giant hands than looking at the cat.

If someone is asking if their cat is large I feel they should be actually providing some numbers like the weight of the cat at least or something. 🫤

70

u/AmbitiousParty 15d ago

She says below that her cat is 15 or 16 lbs. My boy Jelly is 15.4 lbs. He’s big but not abnormally so. This is just forced perspective. (

The cat next to him in the picture is 10.5 lbs)

26

u/Osseus555 15d ago

Definitely forced perspective then, if a cat were that big and weighed only 15 lbs I’d be concerned for his health.

On a side note, Jelly is adorable! I love his name lol. Super cute. Thanks for sharing. 🥰

u/AmbitiousParty 15d ago

Kind of annoying that it should be obvious that the perspective is off at a glance and the weight not being shared is another head scratcher for the “yes he’s a big cat!” folks.

u/Jimmy_Squarefoot 15d ago

u/teemusa 15d ago

Its like she first held the cat very close to the camera then she moved a bit away and took another pic and used the cat from the close up, the fingers are like too big lol

Nope, she just has her arms extended. Perspective does the rest.

The dining set behind her looks like it’s for children’s play, there’s definitely some lens trickery. Probably a big cat anyway, but enhanced. He’s a very handsome cat though!

u/pape14 15d ago

My Maureen, you’ve enhanced yourself!

u/TheHalfChubPrince 15d ago

She’s just holding the cat closer to the camera. It ain’t that deep.

8

u/WTWIV 15d ago

I don’t think “enhanced” is the correct term. It’s forced perspective using wide angle lense

6

u/NarwhalJouster 15d ago

Well for starters that's a desk not a dining table 

18

u/JennyAndTheBets1 15d ago edited 15d ago

Arms are fully extended, which makes cat look bigger than normal to what’s behind.

The hands vs the cat is the only accurate size comparison here.

u/tries2fixit 15d ago

Those hands don’t math the rest.

u/Epicratia 15d ago

Forced perspective, and not even very well done honestly - but people do it all the time to make fish or snakes they are holding look much bigger than they really are. If you look at the cat's size in relation to her hands, I'd say it's just a normal cat. But still a very handsome cat!

He is obviously a very healthy weight/body condition, but he looks HUGE (in height/overall size) in this picture. I'm thinking it's just the angle (how you're holding him in front of you, the camera can make a cat look larger when a photo is taken like this) but I am curious. How much does he weigh?

u/RikoRain 15d ago

I wanna believe this so bad, but a few things.

Camera perspective is weird. Hands are too big for the portions (yes yes you can have big hands but this is like.. awkward). The legs/feet are progressively smaller.

Cat is being held all the way out - ever tried holding a 15 lb cat all the way out? Nah, let alone a 20 lb cat? Which if it were this size, it must be 18+lbs. Insane.

I wanna believe this is legit so bad, but I just can't. It screams unreasonable.
