    Stomp: “I’ll have a rum . . . . And coke.”

    Bartender: “why the pause?”

    Stomp: “Dunno, I’ve always had them.”

      It’s a Highlander cat. Natural bobbed tail, curled ears, and polydactyl claws.

      There are actual cats that look like this, so probably it’s real. It certainly doesn’t seem AI generated to me.

      GPTs also don’t make images. That’s not what Transformers do, and GPT means Generative Pre-trained Transformer. It’s diffusion models and variational autoencoders that make images.

          To me it looks like they used a bad camera that’s too soft. That’s all. AI images are often sharper and better looking than this if done using a good enough model and techniques.

      6 toes on the back paw. Including the “thumb” that’s underneath, that’s 7.

      I’m pressing X to doubt on this one

        Those are very rare. In fact, I’m pretty sure there can be only one.

          What? It’s been a crossbreed since like 2004? Unless I’m getting whooshed?

            “there can be only one” is a common saying from the Highlander series of movies and TV shows, which refers to an in-universe event where “immortals” (they can be killed by decapitation) feel compelled to “the gathering” and slay each other until the last one receives “the gift”.

            The series is named “Highlander” because the protagonist in the first movie, Connor MacLeod, is an immortal from the highlands of Scotland and often called “the highlander” by immortals, since he may be living under a different name (because even in fiction paperwork is a bitch).

            Outside of the series, “highlander” variants of various games exist which impose a limit of a single instance of a card/token/spell/action where the standard rules have a higher limit or no limit.

    I got my long haired Highlander from a gal at work whose daughter was allergic. Best cat I’ve ever had.

    We can’t see your cat’s tail from this one picture. Is it short? Those feet and short tail may make Stomp a Pixie-Bob breed .

      Its a highland lynx, which are generally bred to have manx tail.

      Fun fact: because of the manx tail, it has a high chance of being incontinent.

    Hot damn! Those paws are comically big. It’s like if a cartoon cat with big feet came to life but kept the disproportionate paws. Awesome!

    You know what they say about cats with big peets.

    They need big cuddles. I’m glad he’s got an accomodating home.
