The Inter-demential Time Travel Cat
So there I was playing around with the digital camera taking pictures of the cats in one of their more rambunctious and playful moods, when I snapped the above image of Leila. I took the photo, looked at the preview screen and then dropped the camera in horror and shock. I turned to the misses, who was sitting on the couch, and I tried to put into words my distress. I might have said something like, “Um, I think there might be something wrong with Leila.” She, in turn, looked at what had been captured on the small screen on the back of the camera and shoved it away with both hands, “Yuck. That’s horrible, I don’t like it. It’s scarring me.” I thought perhaps there was some trickery being done by the little preview screen, so I went and uploaded the image into iPhoto to see it up close. This only caused further injury to my soul. It’s plain for all to see that
the cat is fucking transparent in this photo! What the fuck?!? How is this possible? Please, someone with way more photographic expertise than I, explain how this might have happened. My mind has already come up with dozens of fantastical, X-files meets Twilight Zone, explanations for Leila’s sudden, ah, disappearance? I can only say that all the settings on the camera were on auto everything, and the photo was taken in the evening so the light wasn’t very good as you can see by the darkness of the images. So, hit me with some hard science that will explain all this away. Until I get that explanation I will be looking at my cat with an unhinged sense of the impossible.
