We can't tell where one cat stops and the other one starts. They look like some kind of mythical creature all squished together like this.

They're pretty darn cute, though.

Why does it look like this boy has one normal-sized hand and one huge hand?

It's because that huge hand is actually his dad's hand. The camera is playing tricks on you.

Does this dog's head seem too small for his body to you?

That's because that's not his head at all. This dog is sniffing a little puppy. It's all a matter of perspective.

It looks like the man on the bench is going for a ride on this woman's back, but it's actually the pattern on her shirt that's causing the illusion. Weird.

I wonder if they knew the picture would look like that when they took it...

The ad on the boards at this soccer game is making it look like the guy sitting behind the boards is driving a little blue car.
