I love it! And I didn’t know the term Bazinga, thanks. I see two obviously simulated predators (the cat is framed, the shark’s teeth are crude) - just their heads actually - facing or challenging each other. The domesticated cat appears to be frightened or surprised by the wild shark, which could be a metaphor for the pandemic, where civilization is supposed to be threatened by nature but the fear is manufactured (the shark simulacrum) and the target (the cat) is ‘framed’ or set up.
Thanks David, glad you liked this one. You may have figured out that I frequent thrift stores and antique malls snapping pics in the aisles, and this is one of those. I like your take on what these characters signify! There really is no end to interpretation here.
HUH? 😮 Do you know where THIS is coming from? All of my life I have not liked seeing critters fighting! ☹ My close friend just had two smaller rugs put on her floors, one in the living room and one in the dining. Both have the same scene of two tigers fighting! Would you like coming home and seeing those two like that on YOUR floor? Not me! (I do like tigers and have a picture of one on my wall.)
But I would say that this is a little different. This is an assemblage. Just stuff that happened to be laying about. There is no intent of a story, unless you the viewer impart it on these characters. The makers of those rugs meant to have the viewer see a fight.
Sure they did. But why? My friend is from India. Indians view the tiger as a symbol of predatory power. Indians viewing the tiger scene might have a positive completely different take than mine.
I think the kitty has a look of disbelief that he scored such a big dinner
See, that's what I'm talking about! Good one D Marie
Made me chuckle. Might a title be, "Correlation Not Causation"?
That is a perfect take on that!
I just suppose,… that there’s some juxtapose….
Often , cats long for what’s in an aquarium.
But this image seems to show that the shark shares a similar view; wanting that darned cat, behind the glass.
That's a good one too Cheeky! I am glad I put this one out there.

Looking forward to the next featured image..

That's fair Jayna.

I wouldn't want that picture up on my wall but I think it's funny in a creepy way to look at on screen.
Well, I will take funny in any sort of way as a good response Petra! I was hoping to elicit something other than dread and doom.
