A tuxedo cat named Mostaccioli (“Mosta” for short) is going viral for her resemblance to one of America’s greatest comedians, Julius Henry “Groucho” Marx.
“The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you’ve got it made.” –Groucho Marx

The feline has a black coat and white chest but also has a distinctive black mustache, which can occur in tuxedo cats. The unique shape has captured the attention of people around the world who claim she is, “Groucho Marx reincarnated”.
Others have said she looks like Mario and Freddie Mercury, the lead singer of the rock band Queen.
Her mom, Natalie, thinks she is just purr-fect and fell in love with her the moment they met.
Natalie found Mosta with her three male siblings and malnourished mother in a garden in California. She rushed the one-day-old kittens to a veterinary clinic where she works and helped nurse them back to health.
It didn’t take long for her to fall in love with the striking feline. Natalie adopted Mosta and decided to share her stunning look with the world.
She created an Instagram page for Mosta and her Scottish Fold sister, Izanami. The two are best pals and have acquired thousands of followers with their adorable faces and larger-than-life personalities.
They love to play with toys, give each other baths, take naps, and model for the camera. In one photo captured by Natalie, Mosta appears to have two mustaches, one on her face and one on her paw.
