14 DAY TRIAL // A small eared breed of cat (probably "Scottish Fold Shorthair") holding an Xbox 360 controller in different funny positions. The guy who took the photos is, without a doubt, someone with too much spare time on his hands. They are funny pictures nonetheless but if you ever think of doing something like this too, please take in consideration if the animal is willing to do it and that it won't be harmed. I know it sounds like the motto of RSPCA but you should really attend to your pets properly to make life easy for them and yourself.
If you were wondering if the cat is nervous or anything (due to the small ears that look like they're held back), it's not. Usually, cats do tend to hold back their ears when they're nervous but this one, to my surprise as a cat owner myself, is practically diggin' the photo shoot and the ears aren't held back, they're small as the breed implies. The photos are pretty good, concerning they must have been made with a usual camera and they clearly show the cat is very relaxed and has no problem with being photographed holding its little paws on the controller.
Cats usually show many more signs of anger than just flipping back their ears (which is the most common way for a cat to show its discontent). They also raise fur on their spine and tail, make huge pupils or look tense and none of these signs can be found in the pictures. The good thing for the cat is that it's famous now and, who knows, maybe it will be the mascot of Microsoft's new gaming system.
