Awww Mondays

Join us every Monday for Awww…Mondays.

Post a picture that makes you say Awww…and that’s it.

Make sure you leave a link to your post and I’ll visit your Awww…Mondays post.

What better way to start the week than with a smile.

Hubby asked Gemini to create a black domestic short hair cat and a tabby cat and this is what he got. They look so much like our babies. We were amazed. Gemini is a fun app.

    That is a very good likeness and almost as aww worthy as your babies.

    There are so many AI apps these days we can hardly keep up with them….but it’s good to find one that you really like – which it looks like you did!

    Hugs, Pam

    It is scary what these programs can do these days. Mom hasn’t tried it, no time to figure it out and she isn’t sure she really wants to. They do look just like your cats.

      Sandee says:

      It took very little effort to do this. We were surprised. Happy Awww Monday and week. Scritches to the pups. 🙂

    Xena, Lucy and Chia says:

    Wow, I thought those WERE your sweet kitties. AI is fun and can do a fantastic job, and I’m still so very grateful that we have the “real thing” with us to cuddle and play with.

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.
      Sandee says:

      Yes having the real thing is far better. Happy Awww Monday and week. Scritches to the pups. 🙂

    Woops, forgot to add your blog hop to my post; it’s there now!
    AI has been doing great things in the world of archeology: reading burned scrolls from Pompeii, interpreting neolithic designs, and even has a new idea about Stonehenge that I’m dying to read more about.
    These kitties are adorbs, but yours are even cuter.

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.
      Sandee says:

      I agree with you. If it’s used for good then I’m all for it. Yes our kitties are cuter then AIs kitties. Happy day and week. 🙂

    It’s a great picture. But I still don’t care for AI aps. Tell your kitties I said hi. 🤣😎🙃

      Sandee says:

      I’m sure evil will be done with AI, but we don’t intend to do evil here. Happy week. 🙂

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.

        Makes me wonder how common it is for families to have a pair that look like that.
