Why do cats dressed in their owner’s clothes look sinister?
There is probably nothing psychologically significant going on here but when the Swiss photographer/artist, Sebastian Magnani, merged – I suppose using Photoshop – photographs of the cat caretaker’s clothes (appearance) and his/her cat we end up with an image that is more sinister than amusing. Perhaps it is the way he did it. He seems to have deliberately tried and succeeded in creating an image that is slightly unsettling. There is also some photoshop work on the cats faces as well.
Sebastian says this:
‘I am so fascinated by the eyes of cats. Unlike dogs, cats all have the same head form, so there is not so much difference between each other’.
That does not enlighten me to be honest. No matter, I like the images because they are interesting.

He has definitely tried to make them look a bit sinister. Sometimes they look cute. However, I have seen other cats looks distinctly sinister in human clothes. What about this photo of a Sphynx cat:
