Strange Cat Photo

The thing that gets the highest hit count on this website is not any of the blog entries, none of the photo galleries nor even the URLs that those damn accursed referrer spammers try to go to, but this photo:

Silly cat photo - source unknown

Unfortunately I can’t find any attribution for it – the best I’ve got is that it was first mentioned in this story by Alec who pointed to this URL that went 404. I managed to track down a copy via some method that escapes me and added that as a comment to Alec’s article, which he then posted about here.

The EXIF information isn’t much use, it just says:

My guess is that as Photoshop is involved it’s a fake.. But I’d love to find out who did it so they can get proper credit!

  1. It looks like one cat has stuck itself through a hole in tyhe fence, and another cat has stuck it’s head through another hole on the other side and is looking at the first cat’s body.
