Can you sketch an example of such a drawing? I'm having a hard time imagining something that looks enough like a cat to be recognized as such but unlike any cat a three-year-old has ever seen before.



I'd say that misses both my criteria: it looks just like lots of cat drawings any three-year-old has been exposed to, and it also seems like an image Google would have no trouble recognizing as a cat.



Again, I think first-world children over the age of 3 have been exposed to plenty of drawings like that, and also, Google can recognize it as a cat anyway -- in fact, it even knows which cat; do an Image Search and you'll see, "Best guess for this image: garfield meme"


Your criteria were "looks enough like a cat to be recognized as one, but unlike any cat that a 3-year-old would have seen before".

Google doesn't recognize it as a feline, it recognizes it as Garfield.
