"Photoshopping" is often used as a term of derision and it's true that a lot of faked images have caused strife in the last couple of decades. But let's not forget the incredible silliness Photoshop has provided us with in the same period.
For example, the works of the artist behind "Koty Vezde" ("Cats are Everywhere"). The concept is simple: she takes an image of an animal (or object) and gives it a feline face.
Yet for all of its simplicity, the results are gloriously creepy and cute.
You do not want to mess with this cat-cub. It clearly means business and won't allow for any belly rubs.
My hypothesis is that the closer the animal looks to a cat, the less creepy it is. A squirrel has the long fluffy tail and isn't quite so off-putting.
Which is still pretty cute, but also starts falling over into the creepy side of the spectrum. Cat's shouldn't have fins. It's weird.
I love how the color of the cat and its eyes match so well with the snail shell. It makes for a pretty seamless effect.
It's also so chubby and sad and I want to give it so many hugs and snuggles.
Which I'd probably regret.
The birds definitely cross the line into creepy for me. I think it's the lack of neck.
I'd be pretty freaked out too if I was suddenly a hybrid between a bird and a cat. Natural enemies forced to live together in the same body!
Seriously, it was the sweetest pet she ever had, but the dust it needed to bathe in turned out to be bad for asthma and it needed to be rehomed.
This is a pretty cute mash-up.
Cute, but evil.
Still, I'd have trouble staying mad at this Bun Bun Kitty.
This reminds me much more of the attitude of those rabbits and I just love it. So evil. So cute.
It's pretty cute, but the glossy black eyes are kind of unnerving. So I guess it straddles the creepy-cute line.
"Bring me the acorns or I'll send you to the bottom of the storm drain in cement booties!"
Maybe it's because that's the look cats usually give humans that walk in on them when they've got their legs in the air for a cleaning.
I'm not anti-hairless cat. They can be kind of ugly-cute and great companions, but there is just way too much nope in this mash-up.
This is all about that little blep. This is the cutest of the bunch and I will not listen to any arguments against it.
