Most People See A Black Crow In This Picture – But What Is It Really?

While enjoying my morning coffee, I stumbled across this image of a crow. Apparently, the entire internet is in awe of this bird because everyone is talking about it. If you take a closer look at the image, you may notice something a bit peculiar about this specific type of bird.

Is this a crow?

Upon further inspection, you might notice there is something a bit off about the beak. Maybe the shape of the head is strange too…

The image was shared by Robert Maguire on Twitter, with the caption “This picture of a crow is interesting because…it’s actually a cat.” So, no, it’s not a crow! Imagine my surprise after trying to determine what kind of bird this was who was casually enjoying an afternoon on the bathroom tile. It wasn’t a bird at all, but a cat! If you tilt your head sideways, you notice the “beak” is actually the ear of the black kitty.

Even that tail of the cat could be confused for a crow’s tailfeather. Crazy, right?

Maybe we need some more education on crows, especially if we are going around confusing them for cats. I mean, it’s not even the same species. Aren’t they supposed to be mortal enemies- cats and birds? Let’s get some facts and spread corvid awareness.
