This Cat Became Popular On The Internet For Looking Like Zorro, Gets A Kitten Named Bandit That Looks Exactly Like Him

ADVERTISEMENT

Indonesian Indraini Wahyudin Noor, 50, has many cats in his home, but one in particular has robbed his heart. Just who is this burglar of hearts, you might ask? Well, nobody knows for sure, for you see, he wears a mask, and as we all know from comic book logic, there’s no way to know who’s behind a mask. The mystical masked heart thief was nicknamed Zorro for his looks, but Indraini also simply calls him Boy.

And boy, there’s more to this story than you probably expected. Boy has been a naughty boy, and is now a dad. Nobody knows what’s inside a cat’s mind, but we’d assume he feels proud of his kittens for he knows that the children are his. How? Well, among the kittens, there was another one that wore a mask and a hat, just like his dad. The little sidekick kitten was fittingly named Bandit.

The reason for the nickname should be obvious once you notice his mask

He also has a black patch on his head that looks like a hat

Ironically, many commenters wish to “rob” the owner and adopt this masked Bandit

He is growing up to be an adventurer just like his dad

Bandit’s eye markings are more like glasses than a mask, so maybe his name should be Ray-Bandit.

Now why would someone downvote me for something as innocent as “Ray-Bandit? Guess the trolls are out today.

The kitten also looks like he has a crooked bowtie on which makes it even better.

The markings look slightly different in some of the photos. Also, the borders are not clear, and the color is slightly different from the natural markings on the head. Even if you ignore the unusual pattern, this does not look natural at all. Looks like someone dyed their cat for internet fame.

I think they look the same. Also different angles might make them look different.

Beautiful cats, I follow them now on Instagram, even though I can´t post there myself without a mobile phone.

The kitten's spots on the chest disappeared, that's "odd"

He will most likely suffer the same fate as his father dieing young SAD

This is very obviously painted. Trust me, I know how cat hair colour works. Look at the skin around the eyes. Black hairs on white skin? Nope. Also look at the black tones, they are not perfectly identical. Sorry but this is just awful, not cute. What next, a cute green cat maybe? Don't promote such stuff, BP... :(

I doubt these markings are natural. How are they done? I'm concerned that either chemicals are being used too close to eyes or that paint or dye can come off into eyes either during process or while cat is washing itself. I don't mind being called a hysterical nut-job, would rather lean on side of being overprotective rather than encouraging potentially dangerous practice and copycats (pardon pun). If I missed the explanation of safe procedure, my apologies.

I'm sure the markings are natural. I have a similar cat that looks like a cow, with black patches near the eyes, and these cats' markings are within the natural variation of black and white cats.
