AI stomp
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
I hope he doesn’t grow into those feet.
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
What an Oblivion mountain lion actually looked like
That is a lynx.
Call me crazy but I love it. Makes him even more cute!
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!
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
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
I feel like I’m taking crazy pills with all of these comments talking about this as if it’s a real photo and not AI slop looks like complete shit. Are the comments AI generated spam too? Are they just stupid? Am I AI generated spam?
I looked into it a little using TinEye and the image predates generative AI images of this quality. I actually think it’s a photoshopped normal cat; possibly as part of that weird trend of making some small detail of a normal photo look freakish.
This photo has been around for a few years. It’s not AI.
Also my bobtail buddy
Worse than being AI, this is a newish designer breed called a highland lynx, and the polydactyl, curled ear tips, and manx tail are traits they are breeding for.
Unfortunately, its not very ethical to breed for these traits, especially the manx tail, which can cause cats to be born incontinent.
I’d like to believe it’s not AI:
Polydactyly is not uncommon in feral cats, but I have no information about the provenience of the photo.
I am not AI spam. I am sometimes stupid.
I don’t think this is AI generated spam. There is apparently a real breed of cat that looks like this. I think you need to be less paranoid, this is lemmy.
Yup no money no karma.
No point in farming nothing.
I mean, it is reposting other peoples’ old content, and there seems to be a lot of that going on here lately. People just like the attention, I guess.
That cat clearly belongs to Jeff Dabe.
I wanna see the boot not too big for the gd feet!
I love stomp
I got my long haired Highlander from a gal at work whose daughter was allergic. Best cat I’ve ever had.
