Meet the cats with human lookalikes!

Here we have Elisabeth and Angelique - a Khao Manee. We think Elisabeth's eyeshadow wonderfully captures Angelique's multicoloured eyes. Photographer Gethings had to visit the cats at their home, armed with treats and toys and spent hours trying to capture these furry balls of joy. However it was quite a challenge as some weren't always bothered about their time in the spotlight!

Say hello to Dominic and Merlin - a Blue Tabby Maine Coon. Do you think Dominic has purr-fectly matched Merlin's stern but wise facial expression?

Arlo looks just like this wet moggy Buttercup!

Could this be the cutest pairing ever?! Nancy and her feline twin Buttons look almost identical!

Gunther and Albert (Exotic Longhair)Image source, @gezgethings

It's Hagrid in cat form! Gunther's beard and long hair make him the ideal lookalike for this exotic longhaired cat called Albert. That snarl is enough to scare off anyone!

Which photo is cooler? Tobias (human) or Hero (cat)? It's impossible to tell!!

Ok, ok, this one MIGHT have to be our favourite. Marielle and the Silver Maine Coon, Jacques, look so elegant together. We can just see them sauntering off to a swanky party paw in hand!

Matthew meet Hubert, Hubert meet Matthew. But which is which?! It's tricky to tell as those facial expressions are spot on identical! Hubert is the moody feline on the right. Congrats Matthew - you've nailed this look!

Who would have thought a human could ever have hair as wild as this cat?! This resemblance is incredible!

The photographer, Gerrard Gethings, thinks strong cat-human lookalikes are harder to come by than dogs, but we think he's done a pretty amazing job. The white walrus moustache on both these guys is such a great match! And the little furrowed brow - it's too much!

Looking at these photos makes us want to jump up and down with our hands in the air! This cat is having a nice big stretch, just like someone having a proper good dance!

We can't deal with those sad eyes! It's almost too much. Have you ever seen a resemblance this iconic?
