Freddie Purrcury! Queen frontman’s moustached cat doppelganger a hit

This black and white cat might just be the “champion” of dopplegängers. This female cat named Mostaccioli looks quite similar to the iconic Queen frontman, Freddie Mercury. The internet has been gushing over this feline’s cute looks and she has gathered quite the fan base on Instagram.

MOSTACCIOLI’S ‘MOUSTACHE’

In an interview with Bored Panda, Mostaccioli’s owner Natalie Fernandez said she picked up the feline and her three brothers on 30 August 2020, when the cats were quite young. Mostaccioli and her siblings were soaking wet due to the sprinklers in the garden. Natalie, who works at a kennel, rushed the cats there where she nursed them back to health. 

Mostaccioli’s two brothers were adopted together and her third brother was taken in by another pet lover. 

“At first I didn’t notice she had a moustache because I didn’t want to handle them in their early days and their mom would hiss and swipe at me when I would weigh them.”

Mostaccioli’s Instagram that she shares with her feline sister Izanami has over eight thousand followers. 

DOES MOSTACCIOLI LISTEN TO QUEEN? 

Mostaccioli has gained quite the following and some took a moment to spot the resemblance between her and Queen lead singer Freddie Mercury. One fan in the comments wrote: “Omg he loved cats so much, he came back as one”. 

In a separate post, another fan wrote: “Hello my friend. Do you enjoy Queen music? I do too.” 

“Maybe this cat is Freddie Mercury reincarnated.”
