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:
or this one:
But here is cute/bizarre:
Below are some more articles featuring photo-editing:
Very scary and thought provoking. I remember the saying among dog owners when i owned dogs. Quote, “SHOW ME THE PET DOG AND I WILL TELL THE OWNERS PERSONALITY WITHOUT MEETING HIM OR HER “! Yes, our pets are truly reflections of our own human behaviour.The same seems to apply for cats.
I LIKE THE HODDIE CAT TOO. THEY ALL LOOK AMUSING
TO ME.
LOL!! I like the 3rd one with the hoodie the best. . .
There are a bit funny too. I guess it is an example of how we see things differently.
I like them too. The third cat from the top looks the most natural I think. The others necks look strange. Very cool idea.
I think they are rather funny, more than sinister. . .but that’s just me. . . MOL!!
