Have you ever taken a close look at pussy willows in spring?

[True Dough]

It can be cathartic!

1. Looks

more like a Pussy Willow to me

2. That photo is a photo of Pussy Willows.....

But I get your meaning.

[True Dough]

Silly me!

5. Awwww. Adorable

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

6. YES!!

That's exactly what they look like! Thank you for posting. I haven't seen a pussy willow in years -- I live in the wrong part of the country, alas.

So good to see them again!

Like the one in my yard.

😉

At least that's exactly how I imagine them.

14. AI slop. Look at the mismatched eyes (AI is particularly bad at cats' eyes, and it's more obvious when

there are multiple cats).

Today as Caturday was a strong reminder of how much AI slop has flooded the #Caturday posts on Twitter, when it used to be all real photos and real artwork and videos of cats, posted by cat lovers. Now a lot of it is AI slop churned out by people whose interest is more AI art than cats, but who find the Caturday hashtag a good way to get views for their fake "creations."

20. Totally agree. Why cook the earth for something ugly when an actual person made this:

22. Thank you! I love that! It's beautiful and witty, showing real artistic talent. I googled and discovered

the artist is Rose Mary Berlin, and if you want to find products with that illustration, google

"pussywillow kitties" berlin

and you'll find products on different sites (including one I think is Chinese, on Amazon, for one product at a low price I doubt is real any more, plus some reviews about items arriving damaged, so I wouldn't trust that seller).

Hmmm. I'm sitting here telling myself I really do not need another cat-illo coffee mug, or more decor with cats. But they're so cute...

Especially compared to AI fake art with creepy AI deformities.

16. This post kind of startled me

because I have my browser display set on 120% and the last three words were cut off...

[calimary]

17. That's HILARIOUS!!!

No wonder you felt a little off-balance!

[Woodycall]

19. Yeah, for a fraction of a second

I was like WHOA but then, because I know the magnification "clips" titles sometimes, I realized there had to be more to it because that's just not how we behave here!

Talk about a "grabber" headline though...

[Figarosmom]

18. Awwwww

21. Do you and yours celebrate Dyngus Day, True?

This thread is fur real the fluffiest and I'm pawsing for the cuteness overload!
