Things That Look Like Hitler: Feline Edition

Graphic by Angelie Zaslavsky
This week’s unofficial theme is turning out to be Things That Look Like Hitler.
Following Tuesday’s frenzy over a house in Wales that (supposedly) resembles the dictator, today brings a cat that bears his likeness.
Once again, the doppelganger comes from the UK: The Guardian has posted a photo of a feline bearing a suspicious-looking moustache, a cat we can only assume has nefarious plans for the Rhineland.
Not to be outdone, England’s Sun has devoted an article to the same cat, helpfully directing readers to an entire Web site devoted to the topic of feline Hitler look-alikes.
What’s next? Clouds that look like the fuhrer? Plates of scrambled eggs?
The people of the British Isles seem to be all over this topic, and we’re fascinated to find out where they’ll see Hitler next.
This is a moment of great uncertainty. Here’s what you can do about it.
We hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, we’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s independent Jewish news this Passover. All donations are being matched by the Forward Board - up to $100,000.
This is a moment of great uncertainty for the news media, for the Jewish people, and for our sacred democracy. It is a time of confusion and declining trust in public institutions. An era in which we need humans to report facts, conduct investigations that hold power to account, tell stories that matter and share honest discourse on all that divides us.
With no paywall or subscriptions, the Forward is entirely supported by readers like you. Every dollar you give this Passover is invested in the future of the Forward — and telling the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
The Forward doesn’t rely on funding from institutions like governments or your local Jewish federation. There are thousands of readers like you who give us $18 or $36 or $100 each month or year.
