All pets are beautiful in their own way. I’ve always had dogs and cats as family members, and every single one has a unique quality that makes them irresistible. For example, I’m convinced my senior Dachshund has the sweetest eyes in the universe. Her Pug brother is a chonky ball of joy with the most adorable facial expressions that would melt anyone’s heart. Every fur baby has something special.

This British Shorthair kitten has such a unique, head-turning appearance that followers are wondering if she’s real.

In the Instagram video from @british_shorthair_cattery, the pretty kitty being held up to the camera could make anyone do a double-take. Her fluffy, full coat and stunning gray-green eyes were a striking combo. With Calico-like patches of caramel-colored fur, the British Shorthair cat was clearly ready for her close-up.

The fetching feline seemed oblivious to her star qualities and just looked around as she was being modeled to adoring fans. Maybe she’s already used to the attention, since the beautiful Brit shorthair patiently waited to complete her screen time.

Followers fell in love with the eye-catching kitten, with some saying she should be on the silver screen.

“Looks like a Hollywood character. So adorable,” one remarked.

“What a beautiful potato,” another raved.

“Is this lil nugget for real? I love her,” a follower gushed.

“Magnifique,” someone posted.
