Yep, check out the front legs and pussy's right ear. The cat's been photoshopped into the cat carrier thingo (which is probably easier than placing it there manually, huh?). But yes, &Duck, the heavy pixilation when the head's sharp is indeed odd.
The picture is a bit reminiscent of one of my cats - Kira (aka Geoffrey the Serial Cat, because she used to sleep with a collection of mouse heads) - when I try to pick her up to give her dinner.
I can at last report that the annual vet visit, and this year it was to a brand new vet, went swimmingly. Cat was referred to as "pusser" throughout, suffered all the indignities with an aplomb that we can only attribute to her 16-17 years, and showed no obvious signs of distress/unbridled hatred on return home.

Oh, Ceiling Cat, tell me about it.

I keep looking at my arms, enjoying their unscratched appearance.
BTW, why is everything in that image sharp except the cat's pixelated body? Very odd.

Verification is appropriate,too - spitse.
