Hmm... It looks more like a cartoonish face than a real one. Notice the "nose" and "mouth". I'd say it's an illusion - although a mighty cool one.

So Atrocities, did you change your wallpaper after this?

The image in question has been intensely studied by the crack team of experts here at work. And we can report conclusively that it is a distorted image of an evil Ronald McDonald(TM) who has for some reason, changed his hair color to an unsightly grayish blue-green.

Your cat's compliance, in whatever nefarious schemes RM and the McD corp. are planning cannot be determined conclusively from her pose.

However, she had better keep those ears primed, and a tight grip on all nine of her lives, because the Office of Homeland Conformity ^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H Security will be watching.

Her hair appears short, but she's not a Persian cat, or is she?

No I think PCP cat, Momma, is of the Barn yard variety and believe me you, she is one moody little woman.

And that does look like a face with two distict eyes, a hair line, and hair. Very spooky.

I think it's nothing more than a reflection.

I sware to god it is not a digital enhancement or fake. My dad thinks it looks like a man, but definately not me.

Have ever gotten one of those feelings, usually right after the cat looks up at something that isn't there, and feel as if you are being watched?

I do not believe in ghosts or UFO's but damn, this looks to real, to precise, to be an optical illusion, so what is it?

yeah, cats and dogs can do that can't they. and sometimes, a dog who always like everybody doesn't like a certain person instantely. that's also creepy.

Well that's great. Now I feel creeped out and I can properly start my day on helpdesk...

"There are more things in heaven and earth..."

That said I don't believe, I really just entertain the possibility. But that darn image did get under my skin.

Ooh, that is really nifty.

Probably shadows of stuff in the bright sun. Do you happen to have a tree outside your window?
Or just some miscellaneous items on that table near the window?

PS: I see you've got everything on your desktop sorted into "SEIV" and "Crap". Hehehe
