I’ve never really used iOS’s automatic thing-detection for photo categories before, but I was looking for a specific picture of a dog from my ~8 years worth of photos, so I gave it a shot.

The 231 photos my phone thinks are of cats include:

• A human eye
• A squirrel
• Three different dogs
• A highly stylized, deco-esque painting of a cat
• A cat-silhouette-shaped wooden door-topper
• The owl from Reigns: Her Majesty
• Amaterasu from Ōkami
• Plenty of actual cats

The 214 photos my phone thinks are of dogs include:

• Four different cats, and these make up ~7% of the results
• One of the dogs from Overland
• A grebe
• Myself
• Plenty of actual dogs

The 76 photos my phone thinks are of birds include:

• Moths
• A cat
• A terrible drawing of a goose that I made
• A terrible drawing of an owl that I made
• A terrible drawing of a pig that I made
• A terrible drawing of a t-rex that I made
• A terrible drawing of Krampus that I made
• A terrible drawing of… a fox, maybe? that I made
• A terrible drawing of a talking harp that I made
• A terrible drawing of that time that my friend’s beagle tried to chase a great blue heron and the heron noped out with like two flaps of its wings (that I made)
• A digital illustration of a pigeon singing “No Scrubs” that I made
• A statue of two hedgehogs that I obtained after its original owner retired
• Two different cats
