AI stomp
I hope he doesn’t grow into those feet.
I’ve seen weirdly long feet, but this looks like he’s wearing giant fuzzy paw slippers. Bonkers. Good on you for adopting him, and choosing the best name lol
why did you name him stomp
You don’t tiptoe with feets like them.
Definitely looks more like a Pippin to me…
He’s obviously a Proudfoot.
Proudfeet
That is a lynx.
Just imagine the amount of biscuits Stomp could make. Absolute perfection
I’m proud of y’all for not replying “absolute purrfection”
absolute perrfection
listen here u lil shit
Hot damn! Those paws are comically big. It’s like if a cartoon cat with big feet came to life but kept the disproportionate paws. Awesome!
Call me crazy but I love it. Makes him even more cute!
It’s not a pathological defect though? I mean does he have health problems because of his paws?
Polydatctyly (extra toes) is not all that uncommon in cats. As far as I know it doesn’t lead to any notable negative outcomes. We had a poly cat (named Poly because that’s what the shelter called her) who lived a long and healthy life. Earnest Hemmingway famously kept and bred polydactyl cats at his home in Key West, and if you go visit the staff there still take care of their descendants.
Here’s our Poly:
I saw the Polys at Hemingway House, they all look very normal in comparison to Stomp’s big feet.
Almost all of them were taking naps in plants and under benches
Stomp: “I’ll have a rum . . . . And coke.”
Bartender: “why the pause?”
Stomp: “Dunno, I’ve always had them.”
big pause or it doesn’t make sense
Massive paws would also work if you really exaggerate it. 😉
Genius
I got my long haired Highlander from a gal at work whose daughter was allergic. Best cat I’ve ever had.
are we sure this is a cat and not a young lynx?
It’s a Highlander cat. Natural bobbed tail, curled ears, and polydactyl claws.
Those are very rare. In fact, I’m pretty sure there can be only one.
What? It’s been a crossbreed since like 2004? Unless I’m getting whooshed?
“there can be only one” is a common saying from the Highlander series of movies and TV shows, which refers to an in-universe event where “immortals” (they can be killed by decapitation) feel compelled to “the gathering” and slay each other until the last one receives “the gift”.
The series is named “Highlander” because the protagonist in the first movie, Connor MacLeod, is an immortal from the highlands of Scotland and often called “the highlander” by immortals, since he may be living under a different name (because even in fiction paperwork is a bitch).
Outside of the series, “highlander” variants of various games exist which impose a limit of a single instance of a card/token/spell/action where the standard rules have a higher limit or no limit.
Just go to Zeist. There’s plenty there.
seems plausible
At least it’s not a young mountain lion…
You know what they say about cats with big peets.
They need big cuddles. I’m glad he’s got an accomodating home.
Seems like CatGPT still has trouble drawing paws.
There are actual cats that look like this, so probably it’s real. It certainly doesn’t seem AI generated to me.
GPTs also don’t make images. That’s not what Transformers do, and GPT means Generative Pre-trained Transformer. It’s diffusion models and variational autoencoders that make images.
It certainly doesn’t seem AI generated to me.
Whatever the case, this picture’s obviously over-digitized.
To me it looks like they used a bad camera that’s too soft. That’s all. AI images are often sharper and better looking than this if done using a good enough model and techniques.
(I get it, my friend: it’s a picture of a real cat. I’m just making dumb puns.)
It’s a Highlander cat. Natural bobbed tail, curled ears, and polydactyl claws.
Nature is fucking rad
I’m gonna need another photo before I believe this is real… and I just want another.
6 toes on the back paw. Including the “thumb” that’s underneath, that’s 7.
I’m pressing X to doubt on this one
