A female cat with an adorable 'mustache' is capturing hearts on Instagram – with people comparing her to the late Queen star Freddie Mercury.
Introducing Mostaccioli, the distinguished feline who was born with a black mark across her top lip that leaves her with a very impressive 'tash.
The stray kitten was found by owner Natalie, from California, alongside her three brothers when she was just one day old on 30 August 2020, whimpering and soaked in her mother's garden.
But since this rough start to life, Mostaccioli has grown and is now a beloved pet, with thousands of fans online who have been quick to catch on to her resemblance with the Queen singer, who died of HIV on November 24, 1991.
Mostaccioli was found by Natalie with her brothers at just one day old last year.
The kitten's mother was a feral Bombay cat who was severely underweight.
Natalie rushed the cats to the kennel where she works and nursed the animals back to health.
But when it came time to place them in new homes, she couldn't bear to part with Mostaccioli and decided to adopt the gorgeous pet, who is now almost a year and a half old.
Two of Mostaccioli's brothers were adopted together into a separate home, and the third one was taken in by an owner who already had a poodle.
However, she does have a step-sister called Izanami and the pair are thick as thieves.
As for Mostaccioli's brilliant moustache, it wasn't very noticeable at first but has since grown into a very impressive shape – and social media users love it.
'Hahaha she just has resting cat face, she’s super sweet,' the owner replied in response to another user's comment on a photo where the feline looks particularly unimpressed.

Now that is one beautiful cat!!
LOL! She wants to break free!
I don’t know. Looks more like a Kitler.
I’m going with Kitler too.
Growing up I had a good friend with a similar looking cat named: Groucho.
That’s a serious porn ‘stache.
It’s not Kitler.
Hahahahaha...that was my first thought...”Porn Stache”!
Cute little kitteh.
It’s sad to see so many people infected with the
cat parasite.
Freddie owned lots of cats. Maybe he’s been reincarnated.

We have a feral cat that comes by from time to time for food with a shorter mustache than that one. We named her Hitler.
Does the cat like to get mounted by other male cats? If not, then not close to Freddie....
When she kills a mouse, does she do a victory dance and purr ‘Another One Bites The Dust’?
