Cat that looks like Hitler

20.05.2015 22:30

With markings forming a distinctive black moustache and side parted hairline, this cat bears a remarkable similarity to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.

But the comparison doesn't end there - owner Elena Suleymanyan also likens her pet's temper and tantrums to that of the Second World War dictator.

Ms Suleymanyan, 44, noticed the one-year-old hairless donskoy cat looked like Hitler as soon as he was born due to his distinctive markings and intense gaze.

But when she realised the cat also had similar characteristics to the totalitarian leader, namely, his bad temper, the comparison became spookily real.

Ms Suleymanyan, a pharmacist from Moscow, said: 'Anyone who meets Portos is immediately taken aback by his likeness to Adolf Hitler.

'When he was growing up, people would always ask me if his name is Adolf and whether he wanted to conquer the world, so the comparison just stuck after a while.

'Admittedly, Portos can be a real dictator at times, he can be very naughty and demanding, especially around feeding time.

I can't say I know much about Hitler's character, but Portos definitely thinks very highly of himself.

'When his behaviour is bad I always say that it's just the Hitler in him, although I'm very tolerant of him.'

Ms Suleymanyan, who lives and works in both Moscow and Prague, takes Portos, who is regularly recognised on their journeys for his likeness to Hitler, on her travels with her.

But despite his similarities to Hitler, she says Portos can be a tender and loving cat - when he wants to be.

She said: 'I can't say his similarity to Hitler affects his life in any way, though it definitely adds some humour to ours.

'We all love him and actually do not care about any similarity - he is just our family member.

'Last time when I flew to Prague with Portos, other passengers noticed he looked like a Hitler at once.

'With the moustache and the hair, we get it all the time because he looks the spitting image.

'But I need to say that despite all those similarities to Hitler, Portos is the perfect cat and I wouldn't change him one bit.'
