Meet Gringo, The Cat Who Mustached His Way Into Our Hearts

Like many other animals, Instagram is a home with unique features, and Gringo is not an exception. You can almost hear its accent by just looking at this one-year-old British Shorthair cat. A top hat, a pair of round eyeglasses and a tobacco pipe are all Gringo needs to get on his own Victorian-era detective show.

Gringo is living with his owners Sabrine and Romain in France, and his brother Milko. This one-year-old kitty had about 60,000 followers on Instagram when his account was unfortunately hacked earlier this year.

Sabrine – one of Gringo’s present owners said “Gringo is a happy kitty, full of life and with really nice personality. He loves to play all day and all night, get up to mischief like climbing on curtains, scratching the couch and jumping in the plants. He likes to stand on his back paw, just like a meerkat. He can stay a couple of minutes in that position, and it’s hilarious.” Gringo definitely has a unique look, and so is his attitude.
