What do you all think?
If it is real, can it walk?
I’ve seen that pic before, it’s a great fake. I’ll try and dig up a cite. Snopes only has the usual huge cat pics.
Why fake? It’s not all that long, it’s just hugely fat and all stretched out. It’s a small woman with big cat.
This cat is real and makes it look tiny.

how - lee - crap
It wants solo and the wookie brought.
It looks fake to me. The woman’ hands are huge compared to her head.
It just doesn’t look right to me.
I don’t get why people are questioning this picture. The cat is not that long, and there are much fatter cats out there. It’s a large, obese stretched out cat being held by a short woman, and the pic was taken with a lens that has a slight fisheye effect that magnify close up objects. (See how large her fists are on his belly relative to her body)

But couldn’t the large hands be indicative of photoshopping or a forced perspective shot?
I don’t know whether or not it’s real, I have personally seen some really large cats so it could be real. What I find interesting is the cat’s face really does look like Garfield’s.
I once had a 27-pounder, and this one looks like it really could be 30% larger. It doesn’t look Photoshopped, but it does look like it was taken up-close, making the belly (and her hand) appear to be larger.
Of course, when I first looked at the photo, all I could think of was:
:eek: OH NO-O-O-O-O-O! MAN HANDS!!!
