or a small human

Most of it is being close to the camera.

Being close to the camera doesn't make your hands tiny.

Nope, but most of them being behind black fur in the shot will make them LOOK tiny 🤷

I think it's both a big cat, and the perspective makes it look bigger

Oh my goodness this makes me miss my cat Anonymous. He was an absolute nightmare of a kitten, tiny black fireball demon, wouldn't let you touch him, pissed in places that could not be reached to clean, he was the worst kitten ever but when he got past that, evolved into the smartest, most attached and loving long haired black cat, huge boy. He used to put his paws on my cheeks, no claws, to 'kiss' me. So cuddly, good hunter, possessive and jealous though.

My cat does the cheek hold too! It’s so damn cute. The soft paw face grab, then she rubs herself on my chin and then grooms my beard all while purring louder than a lawnmower. All those idiots who say cats don’t care about you just don’t know cats at all. Or they’re just really shitty cat owners

I also get the lawnmower beard cleaning treatment, and my Maine coon is funny because it makes her sneeze. So it’s like

purrrr

mlem, mlem, mlem

^ACHOO^

silence….

mlem, mlem, mlem

Left pic: what’s going on? What is this human doing to me?

Right pic: ugh this is my life meow

I wouldn't call it recreating the picture since they aren't even against the same wall

Or holding the cat in the same way

Are you going to be attending your friend's funeral or just sending flowers?

It’s the Rum Tum Tugger.
