Looks like nasi lemak, so the picture could be from Indonesia or Malaysia. Posters here reacting to someone eating while sitting on the floor: the majority of human civilization does it. How about respecting the fact that there are other cultures than your own? Maybe the kitten had fallen asleep on the photographer's lap and they just placed it there for a cute photo.

Was going to say, this looks like southeast Asia lol
some people never tried eating on the floor and it shows
Cat is cute but wtf is happing here, eat(?) off a piece of paper on the floor, with the cat lying on the plate? 🤔
Honestly I would eat cat-adjacent rice off the floor with my hands in a heartbeat. That part is almost as appealing as kitty belly. Almost.
But I presume this is from somewhere in asia with different cultural norms. Maaaybe AI?
I was thinking the exact same thing... How can anyone ignore the absolute horror scene happening beside the cat?
what horror scene ? this is rice with.... maybe mussels ? basically paella. looks delicious
(psychological damage)
spoiler
schrodinger moment
I'm pretty sure it's ai slop
The leg seems to have 2 knees, perfectly normal.
I think they're sitting cross legged and that's an ankle.
Looking at it again, you're most likely right.
What are you doing homie? You can't nap next to the rice!!
mmmm, floor rice
Are they gonna turn the cat into sushi?
