Ah yes, the classic "it's not a bug, it's a feature" defense. You set both width and height to 100%, expecting a nice square container, but CSS decided to interpret your instructions with the creativity of a malicious genie. The cat perfectly represents your code: technically fitting the specifications you wrote, but somehow achieving it in the most cursed way possible. Sure, it's 100% width and 100% height... of its parent container . Nobody said anything about maintaining aspect ratios or looking remotely normal. The real kicker? You'll close the ticket as "Works As Intended" because technically, the code is doing exactly what you told it to do. The fact that it looks like an eldritch abomination is merely a user perception issue.
