The original Op just smashed the face of a poor cat on fruit and took pics for clicks on internet. And you are giving them those clicks and saying that it is "so cute'. Why support animal abuse just so you have your "cut pics"? depressing.

Can you show me some proof? I’m asking genuinely, not trying to be an ass. I’d really like to know! My cats eats some WEIRD things that cats don’t naturally eat, so I could see this happening. Like, she won’t eat fresh salmon, but climbs all over me when I’m eating broccoli (no butter, o salt, just plain ol broccoli) She does this for other weird foods cats don’t normally like as well. Each kitty is different! Animal abuse is NOT OK!!!! And I’d ask for it to be taken down if there was proof, and contact the animal protection agency in their area if their real name and location was available.

I had written a long explanation and the app just erased it 😮‍💨. To summarize: this reposted so no real owner of the cat, the pics are staged, look how the stains of fruit are around the face, not much in the mouth, look a the cat a cuter than normal white kitten eating a red fruit so the color is appealing, how they hold the cat, the cat expression, how clear and well taken the pics are. The idea of the pic, "ups my white kitten happens to eat a rare fruit in a cute way and I was able to took this pics, upsie" tough to gain likes and "cutie kitten" comments. Like, think of a model in an advertisement, you know that all is fake for how all looks. This is like wanting to teach grandmas in Facebook to identify IA post, a tiring and heartbreaking job.

PD: sorry if I sound aggressive I am just tired and saddened by this trend. Just thinking of other sub with a post with +30,000 likes of a person's saying "i found this poor ill kid and "his puppy" selling food in the street "to be able to feed the pup"", and the comments saying "oh cute, good responsible boy, buy him all the food" , all that obviously fake, the kid and the pup just tools, abused tools, and the people believing that and saying that that was cute. I am just tired.

Someone higher up posted the video these are screenshots of, and while it may not be candid, it looks like they at least didn't push the cat into anything. They may have put cat food inside to instigate it, though.
