Acrobatic cats

Impressive acrobatics, but I am deeply suspicious as to how they were achieved - launching places just are not there. No cat appears to ‘perform' more than once 🤔

People might remember a photograph of a cheetah hunting baboon and catching it in the open. Guess what - it was staged and the animals released from cages in a carefully prepared arena. The bar steward who ‘took the photo’ got away with it.

I view all animal photographs posted on social media with considerable suspicion especially those which anthropomorphise (make seemingly human) emotions between animals.

Was first shocked by the wired frog examples.

One strike and block is my rule for dodgy animal pics and videos ... mainly because I don't like my emotions being manipulated!
