Don't talk to me or my dad ever again
We once had a whole family of cats - father, mother, and three kittens - and the one male kitten, Charlie, absolutely REVERED his father, Jake. He would often sit or lay next to his Papa, always taking the same position.
One of my favorite photos was when Jake was getting old, with his fur getting raggedy, and he was looking out a window, with Charlie next to him, in the same position, but with his front leg over his father's shoulders, comforting him.
They're both gone now, but I hope they are together, wherever they are now.
You got find and post that photo!
He's got his mom's paws
Not just paws. He's got white fur on chest too.
New wallpaper just dropped.
The “Kubrick Stare" is one of Stanley Kubrick's most recognizable directorial techniques, a method of shot composition where a character stares at the camera with a forward tilt, to convey to the audience that the character in question is at the peak of their derangement.
Heeeeeeeeeres Charlie!
This is what i look like wandering around in life and I wonder why people dont approach me.
I walk with purpose, usually squinting, jaw set, and a straight face. I'm looking straight forward and ignoring eye contact and nods of acknowledgement.
I see, in my peripheral vision, people glance at me and I dont return it- even if I've decided they're of interest.
Just all around a warm and welcoming vibe.
Animals making direct eye contact with the camera in images is an ai tell.
No it's not. I have hundreds of photos on my phone, that I took myself, of my cats staring directly in to the camera that say otherwise. It's dead simple to make an animal, especially a cat, look at the camera. You just make a "psst psst" sound, or dangle something floppy right above the camera while taking the photo.
Mocha would like to have a word with you.
And so would Casper.
I can go on if you'd like.
I think we need a few more.
You know, just to be sure.
