Cat which looks just like Shrek’s Puss in Boots sends internet wild
AN adorable cat has gone viral online after fans noticed something familiar about him.
Pisco, the golden British shorthair, has sent shockwaves across the internet for being the spitting image of a movie star cat.
His similarity to the animated Puss in Boots character in Hollywood mega hit Shrek had fans doing a double take.
Antonio Banderas voices the cat in the second Shrek film, which has 4 films in the franchise and even a Puss in Boots spin-off.
When Pisco holds up his paws and begs for food his huge moon-like eyes draw comparisons to the animated cat.

Living in New York and with a big following online, Pisco gets a tonne of sponsorship deals and promotes pet goods with brands Petsin, petsafe, as well as TV show Stranger Things and hotelsdotcom.
The 2-year-old cat has not always been so photogenic and sociable.
Pisco's owner explained that: "When we first got Pisco he wasn’t the cuddle bear he is right now.
"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."
Pisco's Instagram page is filled with snaps of the golden ginger moggy with his saucepan round eyes, soft chubby cheeks and his fans just cant help loving his hats, as each snap gets tens of thousands of likes.
Fans fawn over Pisco, as one wrote: "SO CUTE! Wanna be furr friends?"
One could not believe their eyes, saying: "I refuse to believe this cat is real."
Some Pisco fans even saw the comparaison, writing: "I see the cat from puss and boots."
"I cant unsee puss in boots in that scene where he holds his hat and begs," another said.
"Shreck’s cat" one wrote.
Seems Pisco is spreading joy as one fan said: "This made me smile so much."
