I took a closer look at this photo last night, but didn't have the energy to post about it. =P
I see what your talking about, the kitty-looking thing, but I think that is just a pattern in the rug. Either that, or it has been added.
As for the man's face in the cabinet, I think what you're seeing there is the flash reflection off of the lacquered wood inside the cabinet.
There are two distinct lines running through the pic - one above and one below "the hands" - which leads me to believe this one is indeed a paste job. If you have a graphics program that you can zoom in (a lot), try it and you'll see the lines.
