This Cat With A Human-Like Face Is Going Viral, And We Can’t Unsee It

ADVERTISEMENT

You might remember the post we did on funny cat paintings from Medieval times, where felines not only look flat and creepy but also sport some uncanny human-like features. This Maine coon cat looks like it has stepped straight out of one of these paintings.

Valkyrie, a very adorable and fluffy cat, is the new Internet sensation precisely because of this reason. The black cat’s visage eerily reminds a human face that is very odd for a cat. Tatiana Rastorgueva, the current owner of the baby Maine Coon shared a video, and a few images of Valkyrie on her Instagram and people fell in love with the unusual kitten.

It’s not really clear what makes her a human cat – it might be her bone structure, round cheeks, a prominent beard or that bored-with-life look in her eyes. Nevertheless, a cat with a human face is not something you come by every day.

Now, scroll down below to check the cat photos and prepare to feel slightly uneasy.

Cut its fur and see if it looks like a person underneath. Just kidding don't actually do that.

From the bottom of my heart, f*ck this grotesque animal breeder and everyone who is giving her free publicity. This look is, based on her instagram, clearly a trait she breeds for. Russian a*****e. The cat looks upset because it's a product, not a pet.

Wow, if this human face trait is not a coincidence but actively bred for it's truly sick. Why can't we stop f*cking up creatures.

Thats not a cat, thats a person who was selfish and closed out a sorceress disguised as an old woman and now got an enchanted rose, waiting for true love to break the spell.

The cat reminds me of an old tv show, called The Beauty & The Beast. The actress was Linda Hamilton (I think), from Terminator.

Really Basil Some on here assume the most stupidest absurd assumptions. I think the cat is beautiful and unique . Think logical, for one you can not possible take human DNA and a date DNA as it would be incompatible would not take. Any scientist would tell you that. Even basic research on the internet would tell you.

I don't see 'human" but I do see a kitten with a very expressive face. So many people think cats dont have "expressions" but they do and this one face is amazing that way. Can't wait to see how she looks when fully grown!

Its the eyes. It has eyes of a very old soul, like it has seen everything before. And not that it looks human, but that humans can relate to it.
