Somebody solved the up-or-down cat problem

Most likely down, but that could also be the lip to hold poured cement (just not filled all the way, or sunken from use).

the way I see it, If it was going down, the stairs would be starting at a wall, so even though the side things are there, to me it seems to make more sense that the cat is going up the stairs. (Sorry if that was confusing lol)

I said down because the light source is in the back and i assumed that would be the sun.

I still stand by my up statement.

Where I used to live, many stairs had a piece of grip on the lip of the stairs, so it still isn't solved

I see that the cat's paw is vertical and not horizontal so it looks like it's going up

Look at right paw. The cat is climbing..cat is going up

Look at the cat.Look at it's leg/paw.I think it wouldn't lift it so high if it's going down.The cat is going up.I think it's like dat

So I always doc the architect shit but I just noticed the paw so what I assume is that the photo is of a stair case and the picture was taken from the bottom of the staircase and the cat was photoshopped in from a picture of a cat going up a staircase. That's why it confuses us. Because in the cars original picture it's going up but in this one it's going down. Conclusion: the cat is going down (in this picture)

It's going up how can a stair block the bottom step if the cat was going down ?
