I love how humans and animals can understand each other. This caption wouldn't be nearly as funny if we weren't reading the cocky body language of the cat.

[–]pwordishamster 2 points3 points ago

awesome , he seems to be so proud , sweet !

[–]RevolverValera 1 point2 points ago

The front left paw is going backwards!

[–]Ifonlyihadtnt 1 point2 points ago

Its a kitty doin da catwalk

[–]haloimplant 1 point2 points ago

"Cats are capable of walking very precisely because like all felines, they directly register; that is, they place each hind paw (almost) directly in the print of the corresponding forepaw, minimizing noise and visible tracks. This also provides sure footing for their hind paws when they navigate rough terrain."

TL;DR cats are boss because they don't even have to think about where their back paws are stepping

[–]frolix8 1 point2 points ago

Good kitty!

[–]woo545 1 point2 points ago

Looks like the cat stole it rather than caught. He's not wet.

[–]Great_Chairman_Mao 3 points4 points ago

Does that fish look shopped to anyone else? Maybe I'm just too trained to be a skeptic from browsing Reddit...

[–]joshuad80 1 point2 points ago

i think the fish and bg look shopped personally.

[–]cbanana 0 points1 point ago

Everything looks shopped to me. The cat's back leg is definitely not on that boardwalk.

[–]SetToGeek -1 points0 points ago

Definitely shopped--look at the shadow of the cat then look at the shadow the planks throw down. Whatever light source is giving the planks shadows should cast a shadow on the cat but they are in two different directions.

Also, to the people saying "paw backwards"--I thought that at first, but it isn't the case, the paw is just curled back. It looks odd because of the photoshopping (in the original photo the cat would have been moving averagely or fairly slowly, but where he/she is positioned in the 'shop makes it seem like he should be moving fast making the cat's leg positions seem out of place).

It's late afternoon, with a very low sun and long shadows. The plank shadows and those of the cat's legs are consistent with each other.

ಠ_ಠ TIL I'm the only person on reddit who's ever seen a cat do a sassy trot.

[–]SetToGeek 0 points1 point ago

Here is a larger version of the photo: http://blog-imgs-30-origin.fc2.com/n/e/k/nekomemo22/nekophoto4342.jpg

Have a look at the lines around the cat, they are very sharp and at times they go in a straight line. The cat doesn't throw any shadows on itself despite the "low sun and long shadows" and really doesn't interact with the environment at all other then the shadow. On top of that, that just isn't the way a cat would cross those gaps--that leg that is curled up, where did it push off from? If it pushed off from the plank before it he would have to have been jumping, but the cat is trotting.

This might be shopped.

Sigh....

The gallery of photos that this picture was in was just posted recently, and just like people said, it didn't take long for people to start taking a photo out at a time to repost.

[–]Tastetoad 0 points1 point ago

The tail sells it to me.

[–]mrcheeps 0 points1 point ago

What kind of cat is that? It has a beautiful coat.

[–]corran__horn 0 points1 point ago

Does this make anyone else wonder how animals keep track of their hindquarters?

[–]Carnolol -3 points-2 points ago

His paw is backwards....

[–]captainlavender 0 points1 point ago

I think he's just curved it down and back.

[–]Gyrolin -4 points-3 points ago

This looks shopped.

I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few shops in my time.

[–]dlq84 1 point2 points ago

Oh god, you're right, someone shopped a hand drawn circle on there!

[–]Gyrolin -1 points0 points ago

Because cats always walk with their paws facing upwards....

Edit: Also check the shadow of the boards that show the sun coming from top left/top middle.... where the cat's shadow is going TOWARDS that light.

Why would someone photoshop the foot?

[–]numerica -2 points-1 points ago

Not sure if serious or trolling. Either way you should think about a life of celibacy.
