Try all you want to be cute – you’ll never be quite as adorable as Pisco.
The golden British shorthair, with his ginger-tinged fur and giant eyes, is a dead ringer for Puss in Boots from Shrek 2, especially when he does that classic ‘please give me treats’ expression.
And he’s really got that expression nailed.
Just take a look at Pisco’s Instagram, where he’s become a feline influencer with more than 600,000 followers, for evidence of his posing ability.
We’re seriously impressed that his owner doesn’t shower him with whatever he wants, 24/7.
What Pisco does get plenty of, mind you, is cuddles.
Unlike the aloof kitty stereotype you may have in your mind, Pisco is a pet who absolutely loves to snuggle up – although he wasn’t always that way.
‘When we first got Pisco he wasn’t the cuddle bear he is right now,’ wrote his owner in an Instagram Q&A. ‘He was very skittish and wouldn’t want us to hold him or touch him at all.
‘But every day we show him it’s okay and we wouldn’t force him to cuddle or grab him. Soon he became a lot more confident and started to get curious.
‘And now he’s a super teddy bear and loves to cuddle.’
These days, the celebrity cat lives a life of luxury in New York, with all the toys and attention his heart desires.
And the good news for us: he’s always happy to pose for a pic, so we all get to enjoy just how gorgeous he is.
