Cute idea, but about half of these have given me very weird/unrealistic results. For instance this[1] one which, while amusing as hell, isn't exactly convincing. https://i.imgur.com/g5bHmH6.png

looks like mighty fine kittens to me : https://i.imgur.com/wbZmNzY.jpg && https://i.imgur.com/rmxEkdC.jpg

Curious, is cat more complex object than human's face for ML to be trained and produced?

It looks to me that cats as a whole are more complex than human faces. I suspect we would get similar results with full humans. Cats have huge variation in color and pose that faces do not. An additional factor is that most portraits have the background in a separate focal plane while most cats are photographed against a complex background.

The human face training data was probably much more uniform: all well-lit photos of human faces in the center of the photo looking directly at the camera. Whereas the training set for this was probably any photos of cats, in any lighting conditions, with the cat in any pose.
