In an interview with Bored Panda, McCarthy shared that it was his own cats who inspired him to do the job. "The idea initially came to me as I was observing my own cats when they were playing with a bug that entered our house. I wondered how they would react if my wife and I were that small. They're so sweet and cuddly that we tend to forget they're apex predators," he said.
With over 50k followers on Instagram, Mr. McCarthy has once again proved the power of these charming felines and Photoshop is truly a great tool to strengthen it. There's something about his surreal cat edits that make us hardly take our eyes off them.
