All I have to say is
Damn! That is one pissed-off looking cat!

Cute picture, but I'm thinking photoshopped.

photoshop.
It looks like an obvious one and anyone that's tried to wash a cat knows it's not going to sit still enough for you to carefully miss it's head like that. Why do people wash cats anyway, it's like cleaning a dishwasher.

Could be photoshopped, but it's showing something I've personally witnessed. Showcats, that are washed regularly, will stand for it (but they won't smile), if you keep the soap and water off their head. That really pisses them off.

Once in a while I mark one, not watermark but just label it to see where it ends up. It's funny sometimes.
This isn't photoshopped, probably, because it comes from the MSNBC week in pics and I've seen similar ones where the cat's being shaved. |

I doubt its photoshopped. We had an old english sheepdog (the Dulux dogs) and every summer we'd cut of all his hair because he was way too hot under it all. When dad had all the body finished but the hair on his head was yet to be done, the poor dog looked comical! Also, you realise that even though they look huge and fluffy, they're actually pretty skinny. god- I loved that dog. He had huge blue eye's and they looked uncanilly like human eyes.....*sigh*....I miss him.

That's done intentionally to long-haired cats. It's called a "line cut" (often mistakenly called a "lion cut" because that's kind of how they come out looking at the end, if the kitty stylist has a sense of humor and leaves a puff on the end of the tail).

I think its photoshopped. If they "switched heads then they also had to modify the shadow of the head. Follow the shadow of the leash through the shadow of the head and something doesn't look right. Plus the bottom of the cat's head is too round - no stray hairs or anything - too smooth an edge.
Just a guess, tho.

The first picture looks like the tub we used to have at the SPCA at which I worked.
I've also worked in a cattery, and if a cat is bathed from kittenhood, it usually doen't have a problem with water. Sidhe edit: as to the cat above, those are the orangest eyes I've ever seen! Wow.

Beestie, I don't see anything wrong with the shadows. I suspect that leash isn't where you think it is; look at it in relation to the cat's feet. It ends up being to the right of -- and slightly behind -- the cat's head.
Meaning that if (as appears probable) the light source is off to the left -- and a couple feet forward -- of the picture-taker, then the shadows line up properly. |
