Social media effect, the odds are not in your favour. Comparing your random pictures to the best pictures of thousands of other people combined into one entity.
Mathematically, you shouldn't be able to randomly happen accross even one picture that compares, let alone is better than any one of the top rated posts on a social media site.
Having said that, pictures of a cat you care about automatically get bonus points to you and you'll like your pictures way more than what are effectively the equivalent of super model cats you don't have any investment in.
No worries lol, I just got very strong r/iamverysmart vibes. Thank you for the info! The meme is really just to make fun of the cat, which tends to be my day job
You just take shit pictures. Low angles, sometimes LOWER than the cat, plus bokeh [portrait mode on a phone]. Pay attention to your background and composure.
In each picture on top the lens is the same level or lower as the cats eyes.
en, your mileage may vary on portrait mode. fur is what is struggles the most with. personally I'd go for getting close and letting the natural depth of field shine through for what it's worth. most phones are at like an f:/2.8. they can have natural bokeh, they're just ultra wide angle so you gotta get close.
it may just be me, but those wonky edges make it look worse than if it just didn't have the effect at all.
You're totally right. I try and push it so that the portrait process is just enhancing the already there lens bokeh. But when I really want it to look right I just get the Alpha.
OMG I love your stupid cat!! I think the lazy eye really sells him for me 😻
Check out my one eyed idiot son
Much stupid, very love.
He is grace 😭
I love him

K?
My apologies, I took your post as though you were being serious. Wanted to explain that you shouldn't feel bad and why.
Maybe your answer was not needed here but it is a very important one nonetheless! Especially when people compare themselves to the internet!

meanwhile here is my doofer
Orange, never had a turn with the braincell.
He hears the screams of the bits of carpet he hasn't thrown up on yet.
Your cat is adorable
He looks so concerned! I love him and hope whatever he's worried about works out for him.
I often question why he looks so anxiety-ridden all the time, as his day job is napping and property destruction.
ACAB
All Cats Are Beautiful
NoT aLL cAtS!
MAAAAAHH! IT'S THAT CAT AGAIN!!!
look at your cat in the eyes and close your eyes slowly and leave them closed.
they need to know that you trust them
I dont trust him.
bottom left is an absolute winner
Potato cat. A pocato?
He was morbidly obese when we got him from the humane society
"May I have some lööps bröther?"
Reminds me of Andrew Tate going to jail for some reason.
Same vibes
This cat needs all the hugs, send him to my place, I'll hook him up.
Me, looking at both the top and bottom parts: "These are the same picture"
That's a fat cat
She has grace o.O
A non-purrfect picture of a cat doesn't exis... oh. :-P
Your cat gets more upvotes. He knows the social media game.
He wants you to see his eyes
This is my cat. He just bites random shit all day.
That cat has seen some things, man, and some stuff
I mean, I like yours better.
Pov: when your cat is equally depressed like you
Perfection
Oh don't worry he has a collage education and trying to pay off his debt
This cat is obviously not trying to sell me something.
Still beautiful imo
Oh hey, it's Spleens.
Zombii

Depth of field is also playing a huge role in the stock "nice" images.

It's funnier to take bad pictures tho. Why else would I have a cat?
It can also be difficult to take a photo of a moving cat. Some cats don't stay still long enough to get a decent shot.
