Picture of a cat doing the splits

I have no idea if this is genuine or photo-edited. It looks genuine but that’s no guarantee. One thing I can guarantee is that it is highly unusual. I have not seen anything like it after 14 years of looking pictures of cats; probably over a quarter of a million of them.
Although I have seen dogs with their legs flat to the floor. But the splits, no.
It looks wrong and uncomfortable. However, it also looks just about feasible but I am unsure that the hip joint allows a cat to do this. I would doubt it which on reflection leads me to believe that it is not genuine. No doubt someone will tell me that it is 🙂 .
What do you think?
