First off, as the definition above states, any image that isn't in the proper gallery is considered a miscat.  It happens to every gallery, art that isn't like the others.  Some really stand out and others are not so bold in their misplacement.  Regardless of how misplaced, it's a situation that can be improved.  Here's
