Objects move along geodesics—curved paths determined by the local geometry of spacetime—rather than being influenced directly by distant bodies.

The cat doesn't match the tiles—the cat it's sharp at the front and becomes out of focus as we move towards the back, but the tiles at that distance are still in focus. As though different camera settings were used, or different lenses even.

I wonder if one picture is an attempt at a more realistic version of the other? "Make the cat look more round and heavy, and make the tiles sag more" or whatever?
