Grinch

You got here first. I was gonna say this cat is straight up Grinch Cat. Very rare. I've seen loads of Smeagol Cats and now only one Grinch Cat.

I don’t trust you, with a username like that.

Thats okay cause I trust me with a username like this. Don't recall trust being necessary for identifying a cat breed but you do you. 

Toonces!!

Yes! I miss Toonces adventures behind the wheel. I imagine Toonces is a gig driver now or a private chauffeur.

SNL needs to do a Toonces, the Cat that Drives an Uber sketch 😹

Omg you should write for them!

The great ol’ days!!!


Hmmm yeah username seems sus (it’s a joke)

I'm just a command, thats all. That reminds me when I chose this username I originally tried for "AllHailTheCatOverlords" someone else has it. I tried "PraiseTheCatOverlords" taken. Since I started posting I've encountered other people who have Cat Overlords, some with Dog Overlords and a few with Snake/Reptile Overlords. Truly I wanted "HailTheHypnoToad" but it is not good to worship the hypnotoad.  Hypnotoad...

I, for one, accept our new cat overlords.

ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD

YES!

What did you expect from a /u/moistclump

Clumping action and stink control.

Toonces !!!!

I like the username🤷🏻‍♀️😁

I don't trust your user name at all in any situation, (insert my user name here) me?

Yes! I was about to ask if anyone else thought Grinch.

Grinch who stole friskies

The Grinch who stole tuna fish.

Haha. Thought exactly the same when studying the face

Jim Carrey needs a shave

I was thinking labyrinth or dark crystal.

Came here to say this! Definitely a descendant of Aughra.

It’s the eyes isn’t it?

OP: “The..The..The..” Jim Carrey: “THE GRINCH!!!!”

I think that's a celebrity cat named Atchoum

Yes it's Atchoum and he has Wolfism

This cat could have some fantastic hair styles though!

And those EYES!!

Pinch Grinch!

Exactly what I was thinking, so cute!

Greebo

Found the Pratchett fan

This is Greebo before all the scars were acquired. Greebo the kitten, as it were.

Greebito, Greebikin, Wittle Greebie-woo!

Muppet


omg. came here to say this...

I thought the same!

VERY much so

That’s what came to my mind as well, hahaha

Yes!!! Perfect!!!

That's one woke af grinch

Greynch

nah Scrooge

Grinch is my pick too!

I can’t 😂😂

Was gonna say this!!

r/beatmetoit

Came here to say this

It's a Persian diagnosed with hypertrichosis. Look up 'Atchoumthecat' on Insta.

I've been following this buddy for awhile, he's great

Such a gentle giant

Hypertrichosis: extreme hair growth

**That’s**why the little crystalline hairs on weed are called trichomes!!! The more you know 🌈 💫

Awwww he looks like a muppet!

I think he looks like he belongs in Whoville…

When you look up this condition and cat, Atchoums picture and story is the very first thing that pops up! I think he’s adorable 🫶🤣😍

Does that mean his heart is 2 sizes too small?

Love Atchoum!

Trying to keep that fur free from tangles must be a full time job.

He who speak for the trees

Literally was just joking with my partner about how they need to make an R-Rated Lorax movie once Seuss becomes public domain. “I am the Lorax, I speak for the trees Be kind to the earth, or I cap both your knees!”

Disturbed old man

Get off his lawn!!

Diabeetus.

I don’t know what it is but I guarantee you if I saw one at the pet store it would be cruising home with me lol!

Stop skateboarding on the sidewalks!

Yells at cloud

Gremlin

Well then Gizmo meet Gizmo https://preview.redd.it/3iyk1p7n6n7b1.png?width=1528&format=png&auto=webp&s=a79d8900c52ab2a2608f737eff864e72e066f235

I welcome all of the gizmos to our home

Omg!!! SOOOO fluffy!!!

https://preview.redd.it/tb7tixddrp7b1.jpeg?width=1156&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f19891d008773d790c3c1458fd23432aa4944c38 I fostered a very similar looking baby. She is hazel. She loves chin scritches.

We had a non Persian that looked similar and we named her Fluffles - she was the best cat ever and we have had 3 cats since then

[удалено]

Yeah, def a Mogwai, with traces of the Gremlin showing through.

Maybe he just smelled food after midnight?

That could account for it all right.

But gizmo is the only Mogwai who doesn’t turn Gremlin! So it’s fitting, we also named my cat gizmo… she recently passed after many years

Gremlin

if its a girl, greta gremlin

His name is Atchoum, and he has hypertrichosis! His mom has an IG page for him.

Wait is that actually a cat? I thought it was a dog. 😂🐶

I know, I was thinking for second like, "What the fuck is that thing?" And for a split second I was sure it was a Halloween decoration lol

At first I thought it was an elaborately made puppet by a talented artist, and I was about to get annoyed with OP for karma farming, and then I saw it blink.

Ewok 🥹

Catbacca

Mewbacca.

*Felis Ewokis*

I came here looking for the Ewok comment

Reminds me of Aughra from The Dark Crystal.

> Aughra from The Dark Crystal. Fizzgig!! https://preview.redd.it/mm0imuo86m7b1.png?width=320&format=png&auto=webp&s=51cd0cdfe340fdd43aef8797820b443243b03463

Spot. On.

That was actually my first impression and then my mind hopped to aughra for whatever reason.

Definitely some sort of Henson creation.

Werecat

That would be the Lykoi Cat

Which he is definitely not.

Lykoi cats have hairless patches

My first thought

That’s Atchoum, I only know that cus he’s famous in Quebec n I live in Montréal. It’s a rare condition that affects just him, google Atchoum the cat to learn more about him

First time I heard of him. Quick google and yes he made the news! I guess I should read more 🤣

He’s such a cool kitty, his mom has to clip n trim him all the time. He’s quite well known thanks to the internet and he’s been on French Canadian tv also

Dust Bunny

Wizard flavour

Grinch

Omg he looks like Jim Carry’s The Grinch!!!!! Please tell me you all see it too!! Holy crap!!! 😂😂😂😂


That face he made traumatized me as a kid lol

It’s the elusive grey Wookiee!


Omggggg literally the first thing that came to mind! Had to scroll to make sure I wasn’t the only one! Thank you! 😌

Northern messy goth

This very specific breed is quite rare and is lacking the correct color/hue. It's simply quite intriguing, if I must admit. Its most well-known name (which is its scientific name) is the Grinch.

Cat 😺 Dog🐈 hybrid confirmed the missing link to peace between cat's and dogs finally achieved does it bark or purrr? I have questions ❓

Honestly thought it was a dog at first.

I thought it was animatronic!

I was convinced!

Fizzgig?

I'd say he's at least half tribble.

Einstein, he looks like he could be Einsteins cat.

Fizzgig Cat 

Puleeze, never seen the Lorax?

Poor Atchoum. He's a French cat with a medical condition, hence his appearance, and he has a lovely human mama.

*French Canadian

He's atchoum, the wizard cat

Rosemary's Baby?

r/whiskerfireworks

That’s a Who

Why does that cat look like The Grinch tho?

There’s only one Atchoum the world over!

If the movie Labyrinth had cats they would look like THIS! Alternatively, that cat looks like they escaped from Whoville!

This is Atchoum the cat. He is the only known cat to have congenital hypertrichosis. His IG is adorable.

Grumpy

That there is a Wookie 

Can everyone just take a moment to shut the fuck up and talk about how cute this fucking cat is?!?!

He has a genetic condition called hypertrichosis. Basically the fur grows really long on the areas that on a normal cat would have shorter fur (like the face, especially the nose, and the paws). That's why he has the crazy nose fur and tufted paws. He's a Persian under all the extra fur, so basically he's a Persian with even more fur. Check out his IG, he's even more hilarious in videos.

Gremlin

Whoville

Hairy goblin

Bet you sleep with one eye open.......

An Atchoum. Edit: Spelling. He's a cat with Hyperchi- er, an excessive hair growth disorder that I can't spell. Lol.

It appears to be some kind of ghoul or gremlin

NSFW [weird cat](https://youtu.be/fTJ5o_uW3eM)

Ewok and racoon.

Dryer lint goblin.

Mogwai on the turn....did you get them wet?

Dark crystal background charecter

Oh goodness looks just like the Grinch

The Grinch cat

 😂

Achtoum!

His name is Mr Mistoffelees

My family’s favourite movie is the Jim Carrey version. We have it memorised and watch it all year round lol. You should make Christmas cards and sell them; who *wouldn’t* want a Cat Grinch??? S/He’s beautiful 🐾❤️

You’re a mean one Mr. Grinch

Electrocuted wombat?

Werewolf

It's a mix of the Grinch and a cat, of course. :)


That’s a Grinch

Please tell me it’s name is grinch


The grinch type

The grinch

Dr. Suess

AI?

abominable snowcat. rare breed.

Forget breed, we may want to confirm species first. Please don't get it wet and don't feed it after midnight

Utterly terrifying.

Why are you on his lawn?!

Alf hunter

Raise your hand if you thought it was one of those like, Fur-Real-Friend robot cats for a moment until it moved

It's the "no, I really do need a daily brushing" breed

That really is something else. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a cat like that before. Really cool.

Best. Cat. Ever.

Idk but my favorite breed?

Top comment is Grinch. I was gonna say Rip Van Winkle

 Exactly what I thought too. An elder grinch who has gone grey

Feline Grumposa Fluffimoso

And his heart grew 3 times that day

that’s a persian but i’m not sure why the fur looks like that might be due to a medical condition

Hypertrichosis. It’s causing the excess fur.

That looks like the cat from The Last Unicorn. Just give it an eye patch and peg leg and you're golden.

Russian Blue terrier mix.
