| 2/10 for being true to the medium

| Nice and simple OP! Looking at the telltale odd, sometimes

| this as "this cat does not exist". Indeed the project's README
| confirms it.

| I thought something was odd. None of those cats seemed real,

| Must be bugged, seems like none of these cats like me back ;)

| Isn't that what a cat does?

| Ah, missed that one.

| The faces were weird to look at. Too many of them.

| But I really wish I could submit my own.
| mkoryak wrote:
| Yeah I saw that they have an images directory in the GitHub
