People seem to go to extreme lengths to grab some fame on social media, but this cat doesn't even have to try to win over millions of hearts across the world. Sure, it's partly because cats are what the internet has always needed and always will, but this chonker definitely knows how to stand out from the crowd. Literally. Meet the adorable Peggy The Penguin Kitty, who has become an internet star for standing upright and looking like a penguin. The cat's parents are posting hilarious videos of Peggy doing her thing on TikTok and they instantly go viral with a few million views.
The cat's owner told Bored Panda about Peggy and her unique quality: "We’re not exactly sure how old she is, but our best guess is between 8-10 years old. We adopted her about 6 years ago and have been loving every minute. She started 'penguining' the first day we brought her home and has continued to do it every day since."

"After breakfast, Peggy sits outside on our patio (which I have cat-proofed) for some fresh air and bird watching. She also loves to nap in her many cardboard boxes, sleepy by the window, under our Christmas tree, or in her bed. In the evening time, Peggy loves to play with strings or any toys with a bell. She gets her daily brush after dinner and then follows me to bed."
