Cat Scans is one of the strangest instagram pages I've seen in some time. I have no idea how these people got their cats onto their scanners, or why. (via boing boing)

I'm not sure if this counts as a double, since it appears to be an otherwise new instance of the same...

Scanner glass is flat, and if the scanner's been used recently it might even be warm. I have no trouble believing cats would take advantage.

It's not a double, it's a scan!

flat, possibly warm, marked rectangle, not a “cat place”.

Better “cat scans” than “scat cans”

I've been shopping scanners for my vast backlog of negatives.
And cats.

I regret to inform you that a sealed can of Piero Manzoni's shit now fetches upward of half a million dollars.

Not quite a double, but maybe a doppleganger?

Is the OG Cat-scans really almost 25 now? That site was created when flat-bed scanners were a relatively new phenomenon...one of the earliest cat-based Internet sites. Who knew?

We have cat scans.

Any lab reports as well?

Nobody ever talks about how the toe beans leave little marks on the glass that just faintly show on the copy.
