Celebrity Pet Lookalikes

There is a bazaar new form of idolizing celebrities sweeping the nation, celebrity pet lookalikes. This new craze is disturbing in so many ways. It is peculiar that some of these animals actually do resemble the celebrities they are said to.
It is disturbing that in some cases, they don’t at all, and we are left to question the mental stability of these so called fans. No matter how you slice it, this is a very strange phenomenon, and one that should be explored with some skepticism.

Hitler-Cat

So you think your cat looks a bit like Hitler. Well don’t go yelling Schnell just yet. That little patch of black on its face could just be funny coloring, or better yet a smudge of soot. Either way I can’t help but wondering why when you snuggle up to your frisky feline friend, Hitler is the first thing that comes to mind.
Were you a Nazi child in a past life or just read too many WWII books in this one. I am reminded of the Jesus-toast craze and am having a hard time not offering up the advice to just sit back, relax, and enjoy the purring. Okay, Okay…So, your cat does look a little bit like Hitler.

Like Butta Baby

So you say that your kitty looks a little like Barbra. Barbra Streisand…Really? Are you mad??? I mean come on, this is really stretching it here. I see no similarities, except for the way they are holding their heads, which happens to be, NEWS FLASH, the same way EVERY kitty holds their head. You really should go see a therapist because I am quite sure you are probably hoarding Bab’s albums and Yentl memorabilia to boot.

Frida-Pup

Does this dog look a little like Frida? MmmHmm. Why does it look like Frida you ask? Was this cute little pup blessed with the exact same uni-brow as the famous Latin painter? I don’t think so.
The owner is clearly an artist as well and photo shop is his medium. If I were you, Frida-pup owner guy, I would get a new hobby and do it soon, before PETA gets a hold of you. This has got to be considered animal abuse for so many reasons.

Whoopie Dog

I will accept this one because I can definitely see where the idea is coming from. It is obviously all in the hair. I bet if you shaved this pup, it wouldn’t look anything like the lovely and talented Whoopie. And again, I wonder why the owner is more concerned with the dog looking like Mrs. Goldberg, and not at all concerned about the poor thing carrying around all that extra weight.
I am not sure why this particular subject angers me so much. Perhaps it is because I have such a low tolerance for blatant stupidity, or maybe it is because I am secretly jealous that my pets don’t resemble anyone famous.
Whatever the case may be, I stand by my opinion that if you start looking at your darling pet and comparing them to the pictures in US magazine, your time might be better spent looking into a good therapist.
Just to further support my theory I will leave you with this final and amazingly disturbing image.
