Persian Tuxedo Cat Looks Like He Stuck a Fork in an Outlet and We're Here for It

Super fluffy cats are so amazing. They're simply perfect, especially if they have really grumpy faces. They just always look like they have somewhere more important to be, and they're late getting there.

For one Tuxedo Persian cat, his fur goes beyond any fluff we've seen before. He moves around like a storm cloud, and as soon as he stops moving, two things are clear. One, he has a very impressive mustache. Two, he looks like he stuck a fork in an outlet:

Let's add lint to the food pyramid #mustachecat

I'm obsessed with Stewie the Persian cat. Despite the fact that he looks literally frazzled, he's a very sweet boy! He loves his mom, he loves taking naps, and according to this video, he loves lint. He snacks on it in the clip, which is a little unsettling, because it looks just like him.

Don't worry: she didn't let him eat anymore. Obviously, lint is not the best for a cat. One little piece won't hurt. With that much fur, Stewie is used to the occasional hairball! His mustache alone must be enough to cause them.

Stewie has another sibling, too. He's a white long-haired Persian cat, but since this is Stewie's account, we don't get to see too much of his brother. Just know that when they fight, they look like a lightly toasted marshmallow and a burnt one battling it out:

I've always said that if I were going to get a cat, I would either want a Ragdoll or a Maine Coon. Looking at Stewie, though... A long-haired Persian might just be in the running!

Are All Persian Cats Fluffy?

Persian cats are mainly a long-haired breed, but there is a short-haired variety. Both varieties have that standard grumpy, smush-faced look, but the short-haired ones have significantly less fur. The shorthaired version of this breed is more widely known as the "Exotic Shorthair."

Typically, the Persian cats who end up going "viral" on social media are long-haired. They usually have:

• Very fluffy ears.
• Pronounced mustaches.
• Fur sticking up all over their bodies.

People love the frizzy look of a long-hair, which is why they typically cost a bit more if you go through a breeder. They require more grooming, though, so you do need to know what you're getting into!
