    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.

      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

      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.
