New, that kitty is cute, really cute.

True story: in one of my old neighborhoods, a panel truck illegally transporting a full grown Bengal tiger to a show in Las Vegas stopped at motel overnight. Some local thugs broke into the van and let the kittyt out.

People opening a Taco Bell the next day got a surprise, big tiger lounging in front of one of the doors. They went into the other one and called animal control...who didn't seem all that surprised. The fast food people said the tiger seemed pretty tame but they bet he was hungry.

Having no one get particularly excited by a Bengal tiger out loose in the neighborhood is one of the reasons I love this town.

Can one imagine how that photographer felt when he/she captured it? ReRe Jun 2025 #9

No photographer. AI trickery. Generated by a YouTube account apparently posting only AI, but not highplainsdem Jun 2025 #18

Well, that takes all the cuteness away! :( ReRe Jun 2025 #22

It's still a cute image. I can understand anyone seeing it thinking it's cute. But I hate the deception by the YouTube highplainsdem Jun 2025 #24

It's very cute. It's also AI-generated, from this YouTube account: highplainsdem Jun 2025 #15

Gawd more ai slop. SheltieLover Jun 2025 #16

It's a cute image, but unfortunately it does become more AI slop when mislabeled as a photo, and highplainsdem Jun 2025 #17

I agree it is very cute. I just don't like wondering whether something is ai. SheltieLover Jun 2025 #20

Wow, beautiful cat. Emile Jun 2025 #23
