Did Khloé Kardashian Digitally Alter Her Cat On Instagram? Some Fans Think So
On February 14th, the Good American founder uploaded a 10-part IG carousel for her 310 million followers, including pics of her and her two children celebrating V-Day, and the aforementioned shot of her cat. Kardashian posed in a ruby red get-up with her daughter True, 5, and son Tatum, 1, whom she shares with ex Tristan Thompson.
The trio posed in front of a wall of red heart-shaped balloons. The Kardashians star also added pics of True playing with Kim Kardashian's daughter Chicago West, 6, and more photos of their extravagant family holiday bash.
In her post's comment section, however, many fans were fixated on the snap of her kitty and theorized what Kardashian might have "done" to the photo when it came to possible editing apps.
"I am sorry but this is really overdone," one wrote as another tweeted: "Khloe kardashian literally face tuned her cat." Another user added on Reddit: "This is an actual illness at this point her sense of reality is facetuned." Someone else quipped: "Even the pets aren’t safe," while one other joked: "First the kids now the cat." Another teased: "These damn beauty standards are getting out of hand while one other claimed that Kardashian "blurred" the cat's whiskers.
Despite criticisms towards Kardashian, some fans defended her by highlighting that Russian Blue cats are often recognized for their strikingly vibrant eyes. "I wouldn’t be surprised, but this looks like a Russian Blue. Russian Blues are naturally beautiful and of course, very expensive," one fan wrote. "They are a no filter needed type of kitty." Someone else chimed in: "Y’all. It’s just not a domestic shorthair. Chartreuse and Russian blues have that kind of coat. It’s pretty normal for Russian Blues to have that color eyes, and Chartreux are known for that smiling mouth shape."
In the aftermath of the paternity scandal involving her daughter's father, Kardashian acquired Grey Kitty for True in December of 2021. Grey Kitty has now become a cherished addition to the Kardashian family, as evidenced by True's cat-inspired 4th birthday celebration. The mother-daughter tandem also donned costumes mimicking the cute cat during the Halloween festivities of that same year.
Although this is Kardashian's first time facing accusations of editing her pet, she is well-versed in photo-editing controversies.
