Status: Real, Fake
The expression on this cat's face is pretty wild, but I don't see any evidence of photoshopping. I found the image on this
Russian livejournal site, so I'm guessing it might be a Russian fireman who just saved the cat.
This little guy, however, ("frogkitten" -- whose image has been floating around the internet for years) has definitely been photoshopped.

Well, seriously: there are some big sized breeds of cats in Russia. The Siberian is not as big as your Maine Coons, but it's definitely a biggie. Well, this one looks more like a Persian than a Siberian, but who knows.

Limecat does own all, anyways. http://www.stuffonmycat.com
Someone please give him/her a good brushing and a bath followed by yet another good brushing. Poor kitty. *Gives the kitty scritchies*
You're willing to believe a parakeet cross-stitches samplers, but you won't believe somebody could put a little hat on a kitten and then take a picture of it?
the russian cat is just very unhappy. it's features and size are exaggerated because it's been photographed with a wide angle lens thereby distorting the perspective. in most instances, journos will shoot stuff in this way to make the shot more interesting. remember - they are professional photographers and know how to get shots that sell papers.
I LOVE CATS!!!!!!!!!!
the Russian cat is frozen with its mouth open. The guy is carrying him outside because it's actually warmer than inside the house, and it will be easier for the cat to thaw. :D great opinion Christophe <3
