21 Pictures of Hilarious .5x Cat Faces That Nail the Classic “Hooman, What Are You Doing?” Face

There’s no greater gift to the internet than a cat photographed with the .5x lens. It turns your majestic feline into a wide-eyed, creature from another realm. One second they’re lounging like royalty, the next they look like they’re about to drop the hottest mixtape of 2025.

The .5 lens stretches their noses into snoots of legend, enlarges their paws to cartoonish proportions, and shrinks their back ends into oblivion. It’s not just a photo. It’s a full-on cinematic experience. Your cat becomes a fuzzy hallway gremlin or a startled potato, depending on the angle and how close they got to the lens while investigating your phone with judgmental eyes.

Somehow, every .5 pic says, “I didn’t ask for this,” while simultaneously looking like your cat is ready to take over the world, or at least knock everything off the counter first. And if they look ridiculous? Good. That’s the point. Long live the .5 cats. Stretched, squashed, and absolutely iconic.
