Sorry to be a buzzkill but at least the bottom pic is AI. Cat pupils aren't wobbly and amorphous.
It may be AI-enhanced. I found this (original?) pic on The Old Place from 2018.
It definitely is! But why? Such a weird little edit that makes the picture uncanny valley. An older tech filter would have been less weird even. There used to be one on Snapchat I used on my cats years ago that was hilarious.
Compression+screenshots perhaps?
Good catch. It did seem a little uncanny Valley on the bottom, and zooming in on the cat's left eye (our right) does show something kinda funky. And the cheek markings on that side are also a little wonky.
All that said, it's still a cute picture on the top half so I upvoted
Not even /c/cat is safe ...
