Cat image sparks social media buzz: Is it walking up or down the stairs?

Hot on the heels of the “dressgate” social media storm another intriguing image is generating massive Internet buzz.

The image of a cat, which is either walking up or down a set of stairs (depending on how you look at it) appeared anonymously on the Imgur website 6 days ago, where it has already racked up more than 41,000 views.

Commenters on the website 9gag.com are divided about the image, which has sparked debate ranging from the physiology of cats to the architecture of the stairs in the image.

Well if he's coming up then those are some serious ugly treads and terrible tripping hazard too

Definatly down, you would not have a ridge on the tread top and the standard is for the tread to over hang the riser!
