I spend a lot of time reading expressions in my pets' faces that probably aren't really there. Even though we know that animals don't act or think the same as humans, we all still do it.
But usually, our animals don't look quite this human.

I was intrigued and horrified and confused all at once, so of course I needed to follow the included link to the Instagram.
The entire litter of kittens look like gray-haired grandpas that you wouldn't want to talk back to but would also sneak you a Werther's Original when Mom's not looking.
Breeder Tatiana Rastorgueva has been working with the breed for 16 years, with a goal to breed cats with "definite" features.
This isn't the first time her cats have gone viral, either.
Her name is Valkyrie and much like with this newest litter, people didn't know how to feel about her.
Maybe it's that her super pale irises can almost be mistaken for human-like whites of the eyes.
I'm so torn about these kittens. On one hand, they're interesting and unique and cute. On the other hand, I'm not sure I'd want a creepy old man face staring down at me first thing in the morning.
You can check out all of the cats on Instagram.
