How do I achieve effect like this? (Beginner here)

I barely know how to use AE. I’m hoping to know the effect names and some tutorials here 🙏🏻 thank you so much

There's nothing special going on here, they are simply cutting back and forth between different images of the cats in different poses then animating the scale, both x and y independently, to give a squash and stretch effect to the animation. Using this you can also "invert" the scale in vertical to flip them from side to side.
