10 Iconic Cartoon Cats and Their Real-Life Counterparts

These 10 cats have a cool side and they show it by matching up with some of the world’s most iconic cats. Do you have a kitty that impersonates a cat star? Which one?

#1 -Garfield

Known the world over, Garfield was the original “grumpy cat.” This ginger counterpart has the Garfiled grimace downpat – looks like he just pushed Odie off the table on a Monday.

 

#2 – Hello Kitty

Hello Kitty’s large head and round eye have made her an icon of cuteness the world over. This adorable kitten has mastered her look, and is now ready to conquer humanity with its adorableness.Image source: @RaissaRuschel via Flickr and @DiLujan via Flickr

 

#3 – Lucifer (Cinderella)

The prince of evil himself, this cat loves to do wicked – like paw prints all over a clean floor. Apparently this kitty has opted to “one up” his cartoon doppelganger by shredding- so diabolic of him.

#4 – Si and Am (The Lady and the Tramp)

These two are double the trouble that Lucifer was – trying to make a meal out of the other pets in the house. This real-life kitty seems to agree that live snacks are best…

 

#5 – Cheshire Cat (Alice and Wonderland)

Known for his creepy smile, the Cheshire had a corner on the “creepy cat” look. Until now. This real0life tabby is even scarier than the original.

#6 -Tom (Tom and Jerry)

Were Tom and Jerry friends or foes? No matter, this grey real-life Tom seems to have made peace with his mousy friend…for now.

#7 – Sylvester (Looney Tunes)

Poor Slyvester, he never seemed to get his way and usually got tossed outside for trying to eat the bird (what- a cat’s got to eat, right?). This little Sylvester look-alike seems to have landed in the same boat, though we think he is cuter than the original.

 

#8 – Nermal (Garfield)

Nermal is the defition of cute, than this real-life kitten is the embodiment of cute. Watch out kitten, Garfield will surely want to send you to Abu Dhabi.

 

#9 – Puss ‘N’ Boots

While he has only mastered one boot, this Puss ‘n’ Boots progeny has the hat and the large “obey me” eyes. We are sure he will get the hang of two boots shortly.

 

#10 – B. Kliban Cat

Another famous “fat cat,” the unnamed Kilban cat has many jobs, but first and foremost he is a tubby tabby that likes to take it easy. It looks like his doppelganger agrees.
