Can you see why this photo has divided the internet?
Ah the internet. The place where life-changing debates occur.
Today’s topic getting people up in arms: a photo of a cat sat on a goose.
One Twitter user, Natalya Lobanova, posted said photo on to the platform requesting the story behind the picture.

But her dreams of knowing how the cat actually got on the goose’s back were quickly shattered.
Another Twitter user, Allison Beaumont, brought Natalya (and us all) back to reality insisting there was no possible way the cat could have got themselves on the goose’s back like that, and it was simply down to good ol’ photoshop.
Photoshop 101 – remember that shadows on one must be the same as on the other and the strong light source hits both items from the same direction otherwise people will call fowl

NOOOOOO.
Then came along Lauren, who rightly so pointed out it was a Monday and we all just wanted to believe this cat could actually “hitch a ride across a river” on the goose.
Alison, it's a Monday. The start of a long, hot slog of a week. I really, really needed to believe that this cat was hitching a ride across a river on this duck and now I don't and the lustre of my day is dulled.

Then someone chimed in pointing out how exactly the cat and the goose would have been photoshopped.
Someone opened up a photo of a Canada goose in Photoshop or The Gimp. Then they opened a picture of a black cat, removed the background from the cat, feathered the edges, copied the cat, pasted it as a new layer in the goose photo and added a shit drop-shadow.

But then came long a Taylor with this fantastic photo:

We want to believe too!
Surely there is a smidgen of possibility this cat could have actually perched himself upon this goose, deciding he’d like a day on the river.
You never know.
