We often treat our pets like they are humans.

Sometimes, we refer to them as our siblings or children and treat them as part of the family.

We talk to them like they can understand everything we say.

But would you still feel the same about your pet if it looked like a human?

Yes, human, as in you and me!

I’m not talking about a bot, a Snapchat filter, or a bad photoshop job; I mean a pet that really looks like a human being.

Don’t believe me? Then you’re about to witness the shock of your life when you meet this internet sensation.

Meet Valkyrie. Now, you see what I mean.

She’s a Maine Coon and has become an instant celebrity because of her looks.

Owner and cat breeder Tatiana Rastorgueva posted a photo of Valkyrie on her Instagram account and instantly stood out.

People noticed how disturbing she looked because… I mean… look at that face.

It’s like an old man staring at you!

Valkyrie’s eyes are so expressive that you would feel its disdain and annoyance with every photo taken.

It’s as if she’s saying, “I’ve had enough of this. Can you please stop?”

But Tatiana can’t stop posting about her superstar!

Look at that face. Does she remind you of anything?

No offense, dear Valkyrie, but for sure, she reminds you of your grandparents, especially when they’re having a bad day.

The little kitten’s face looks so grumpy you wonder if she’ll ever have a happy day.

Most people commented that she looks like the Cheshire cat from Alice in Wonderland.

And we couldn’t agree more! Maybe because the Cheshire cat has human-like behavior aside from the fact that he talks.

You see the resemblance now, don’t you?

However, Valkyrie isn’t the only one among Tatiana’s Maine Coons that look like this.

Tatiana has been breeding Maine Coons for generations, and a lot of her cats have a close resemblance to a human’s face.

Although Valkyrie is the most popular, her other Maine Coons caught the attention of other people, too.

Basically, this breed often has those characteristics.

Why does a Maine Coon’s face look like a human’s?

They are not the only cat breed that looks like us, but they are the closest.

If you look at their facial composition, most body parts can be compared to a human’s.

Their head shape, mouth (whether they’re smiling or frowning), eyes, and intelligence.

Some said their size also contributes to that impression.

Most breeders like Tatiana do Selective Breeding.

This means that they select the Maine Coons that look more human-like and breed them.

The result would be like Valkyrie, who looks like a human. The more they breed them further, the more human-like they look.

Some of them look cute (let’s be honest), while others just confuse us for some reason.

Valkyrie also found her forever home.

In Tatiana’s post, she said somebody was willing to give Valkyrie the love she deserves.

So maybe that new home and hooman can make this grumpy cat smile.

What do you think of Valkyrie’s face? Leave us a comment on your first impression of her!
