I love tomcats big cheeks, sad that they go away once they get neutered :(

Roni used to have some big cheeks when his previous owner surrendered him to the shelter.

though it's kinda hard to tell on photo since he's gained some weight since we got him

also dodo gifs

That cat tiger image has a synthid. It's slop. The original it's ripping off shpuld be:

The prophesy spoke of his return

His arrival was foretold in the ancient murals...

I edited the post. Thanks for giving the original and not just getting mad at me for posting something that was AI by accident ๐Ÿ˜ž

I hate AI image generators so much, like why would you even make a sloppified version of a meme that ALREADY EXISTS??

For reference, this is the AI version:

I think it's actually fairly common. Maybe even almost every time, just the original being unknown or killed by someone sloppifying it before it ever spread. Turns out people who use ai correlate well with people who don't have ideas.

They'll just "make this meme but slightly better", thereby usually making it both worse and less believable. The cat looks so sad in this one, prob cause of the massive tumor on its left cheek.
While the book is probably a massive walking stereotype about cultural depiction of asia in the west, has text aligned with the camera not book, and is photorealistic.

It'd be great if you could give some feedback. Don't feel the need to read any more than you'd have if I'd just dropped you that link, tho.

Bit long but looks good, technicals are pretty much spot on

Depends a bit on the timing. If they are neutered late, they sometimes keep the cheeks (on top of being prone to behavioral issues). Ours was neutered when he got to the shelter at 3yo, and he's a cheeky bastard alright.
