    You know what they say about cats with big peets.

    They need big cuddles. I’m glad he’s got an accomodating home.

    It’s not a pathological defect though? I mean does he have health problems because of his paws?

      Polydatctyly (extra toes) is not all that uncommon in cats. As far as I know it doesn’t lead to any notable negative outcomes. We had a poly cat (named Poly because that’s what the shelter called her) who lived a long and healthy life. Earnest Hemmingway famously kept and bred polydactyl cats at his home in Key West, and if you go visit the staff there still take care of their descendants.

      Here’s our Poly:

        I saw the Polys at Hemingway House, they all look very normal in comparison to Stomp’s big feet.

        Almost all of them were taking naps in plants and under benches

    I feel like I’m taking crazy pills with all of these comments talking about this as if it’s a real photo and not AI slop looks like complete shit. Are the comments AI generated spam too? Are they just stupid? Am I AI generated spam?

      I don’t think this is AI generated spam. There is apparently a real breed of cat that looks like this. I think you need to be less paranoid, this is lemmy.

      Worse than being AI, this is a newish designer breed called a highland lynx, and the polydactyl, curled ear tips, and manx tail are traits they are breeding for.

      Unfortunately, its not very ethical to breed for these traits, especially the manx tail, which can cause cats to be born incontinent.

      Polydactyly is not uncommon in feral cats, but I have no information about the provenience of the photo.

      I looked into it a little using TinEye and the image predates generative AI images of this quality. I actually think it’s a photoshopped normal cat; possibly as part of that weird trend of making some small detail of a normal photo look freakish.

        Fun fact: Ernest Hemingway used to collect polydactyl cats and now, because of him, there is a abnormally sizable population of polydactyl cats on Key West, FL.

          Ive been to the Hemingway house 20 or so times now (every year I visit) and it’s great. Now i just go to sit there and pet cats. I don’t even care about Hemingway.

                  Nonono, I meant to comment on the comment above you. My bad.

                  I can honestly take or leave Hemingway. I was never particularly a fan of his writing style.

      There are actual cats that look like this, so probably it’s real. It certainly doesn’t seem AI generated to me.

      GPTs also don’t make images. That’s not what Transformers do, and GPT means Generative Pre-trained Transformer. It’s diffusion models and variational autoencoders that make images.

          To me it looks like they used a bad camera that’s too soft. That’s all. AI images are often sharper and better looking than this if done using a good enough model and techniques.
