Every so often, something mildly controversial will blow up the entire internet for a few days. Like "The Dress," the blue and white/black and gold dress debacle, in which different people saw a differently colored dress, and then proceeded to argue about it and create memes about it for quite some time. Well, here is the latest slightly controversial internet item! This mysterious Christmas ornament was presented to the internet on r/mildlyinfuriating, with a simple premise: is this ornament a cat or a dog?

It sounds so simple! But with the pointy ears and tiny tail, no one can quite figure out if this golden decoration is canine or feline. Take a look for yourself, and see what the commenters had to say below.

This Redditor had an interesting theory - maybe they tweaked an ornament mold and ended up with this catdog
