    Pet peeve:

    You can’t call a GIF a perfect loop if it starts and end with the looped element disappearing. Any GIF would be a perfect loop if the only animated part goes off screen for the looping point.

      Truue, perfect loops are way harder when the subject stays visible at the transition point - thats when you can really appreciate the animator’s skill.

      Oh I see what you’re saying. I just figured it seemed perfect bc the kitty goes behind the person’s legs and back around like a circle!

      Also, I thought bc the frame rate is lower you can’t really tell when the gif is beginning or ending. All the movements are equally skipping lol
