Doodle Challenge Transforms Ordinary Cat Photo into Fantastically Amusing Scenes

With a little imagination, an ordinary cat photograph offers infinite doodling possibilities. Although the origins of this photo are unclear, it seems that Weibo user Luo Luobu first drew some delightful additions on an orange tabby that's nonchalantly laying on a white ground. Bored Panda user Sofia then took this idea further by creating an open drawing challenge, inviting anyone to download the image and doodle the cat into new situations and funny adventures.

The results transform the feline into many fantastical things. With just a few strokes of the pen, the tabby is now skateboarding, soaring through the sky on a cloud, and giving Donald Trump a much needed hairstyle update. And playing off the popular “catloaf” position, someone even turned the animal into a loaf of bread. Check out some of our favorites from the list, below.
