A viral photograph is turning heads across the internet, but not for the right reasons.

An image showing what looked to be President Donald Trump "rescuing" two tabby cats from the Hurricane Harvey flood waters was posted on to a Facebook page called "All about President Trump," and has received nearly 18,000 shares.

The image was originally captioned "things the media forgets," but has since been edited to include a clause about how the photo was "supposed to be funny," once people started pointing out the alteration of the photo.

The image was photoshopped to show Trump's head on another person's body in an attempt to make it look like the president was actually rescuing the cats.

According to Snopes.com, the original image was taken by photographer Harry Baumert in 2008 near Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and showed a man named Brandon Smith wading through flood waters with his two cats in hand.

While the original image is no longer available online, photographer David Greedy also captured a similar scene of Smith and his cats.
