pippin cross referencing

upon noticing inconsistencies of a cat reference, becoming very confused, and cross referencing the two images i have come to the conclusion that these are either the same cat at different ages (which is the more likely option) or just different cats
i figured i would share my incoherent cross reference of the two photos as i was desperately trying to figure out how to draw the cat as i had already done the face purely based on one of the references and would need to redo it to match the other ref
this is rampholeons cat btw the full drawn version is still a wip
