Where are you getting these cat pics? I’d like to post some as well. Russian empathizers are losing their shit over pictures of cats and I’m laughing my ass off about that.
Sadly, they were buried deep in my Ukrainian War folder rather than any place I can recommend. I probably found them back on Reddit.
From the hair and the blur around objects it could be AI generated.
Relevant username!
I remember seeing other similar pictures. There's really no need to generate it. There's tons of cats around the battlefield since Russia invaded, and there's tons of soldiers, many of them attractive women. It's only a matter of time until a cute cat climbs onto one of the attractive women, and of course that image will be spread around. It could be generated, but there's really no need.
I do find it odd, too. Like, so many things feel off in the photo. Not only the hair and the blur, but the cat is literally posing for the camera, as well as the soldier whom, by the way, looks stunning in their uniform and make-up. I'm not declaring it is AI generated, but I don't think it's a "baseless" proposition.
Anyway, peace for Ukraine and Russia can't come fast enough.
Also the cat doesn't seem to have back legs.
On the other hand, the fur of the cat looks very natural.
