There are several words you can use to describe cats. They are lazy, grumpy, mischievous, and naturally curious. Cats are also vigilant, inquisitive, and smart. With how clever they are, it’s not surprising how they can take on other animals’ personalities and behaviors.
While you might have seen cats acting like dogs, you probably haven’t seen cats acting like they’re penguins. The idea sounds funny but seeing them act like one is even more hilarious.
With that, here are 75 adorable cats that act like penguins.
1. A real penguin
This creature has the same color as a penguin. It even stands like one. You’d be hard-pressed to convince me that it’s not.
2. A curious hat
The man looks super happy with his new hat. Well, you really can’t blame him. It’s hard to get a hat as cute and curious as this one.
3. Looking after the neighbors
Don’t make negative assumptions about him because he’s not being nosy. He’s just trying to look at what the neighbors are up to.
4. The gang
There’s nothing too special about this photo. It’s just a picture of a group of friends enjoying the sun (and a good view of the neighbor’s kitchen).
5. Those eyes
This is surely one of the cutest penguins around. Who can resist those eyes? I’d definitely give him treats in a heartbeat.
6. Pretending
He’s not doing a good job pretending like he’s not enjoy the head scratch. With the way he’s closing his eyes, he’s clearly loving every minute of it
7. Ready for work
He came well-prepared to work in the office. Apart from the suit, he also had his “game face” on. His boss should start thinking about giving him a raise ASAP.
8. Watching over the snow
It was a good thing that he was wearing his fluffy pants. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to complete his job of looking over the snow fields. It looked pretty cold out there.
9. The bell
Her human must get her a more fitting bell ASAP. She doesn’t look too happy with the one on her neck. It’s too big for her!
10. A bit heavy
She’s a bit bottom heavy. It’s probably what you get from pretending to be a penguin all your life.
11. Trained
Her human trained her to stand up and now she won’t stop doing it. It’s like she evolved into a completely different animal and her human is loving it.
12. Not so happy
This cat wasn’t in the mood for photographs. Moreover, she wasn’t happy that she had to sit next to the “dog” during her photoshoot.
13. Normal
She’s wondering why a lot of people are staring at her. She not doing anything wrong. She’s just standing up like a normal penguin does.
14. Betrayed
She was fuming mad because her human started watching their favorite series without her. She has never feel this betrayed all her life.
15. A human or a penguin?
I’m not really sure if this is a penguin or a human. The bow tie is what leaves me confused. He looks so handsome wearing it, right?
16. Strange penguin
It’s strange but this penguin looks like a cat. It even has whiskers! And those eyes? They certainly look weird for a penguin.
17. Impatient
This cat couldn’t wait for his human to give him breakfast. He went to the table by himself and sat like this.
18. No arguing
The kitten owns the couch and his making his point clear. His human has no right to take his spot.
19. Chubby
He must have gain wait from sitting all day like this. To lose the excess wait, he should start walking around the house like a normal cat.
20. Deceiving
At first glance, you wouldn’t think this is a cat. Well, cats aren’t supposed to be able to stand and walk that way, right? It’s clearly another animal pretending to be a cat.
21. Taste of the outdoors
This cat is literally getting a taste of the great outdoors. It’s his time to be out in the last couple of hours.
22. Looking for an ocean
This penguin is quite confused because she couldn’t see any water around. She has no place for her belly flop.
23. The Christmas tree
He’s telling his human to not worry about the Christmas tree. He’s a penguin and penguins don’t know Christmas trees over.
24. White
This one is quite unique. I’ve never seen a penguin that’s all white before. Moreover, I’ve never seen a penguin with a tail before.
25. Just water?
He’s trying to understand why his human served him water for the nth time. What he’s looking for is food.
26. Hearing the birds
There’s something magical about the sound sound of the birds. It can transform a cat into a penguin in an instant.
27. Disappointment
It was this penguin’s first time to see dried leaves. He looks quite disappointed. It wasn’t what he was expecting.
28. Just fluffy
Somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed. It was a good thing that she still looked cute and fluffy instead of scary.
29. Innocent
She wasn’t messing around with her human’s drawers. There’s no evidence on the floor. The drawers weren’t left opened either.
30. Bored
His human has been watching the same show for the last couple of days. He’s begging him to change it or give him the remote control instead.
31. The horror
He took a nap and found himself looking like this when he woke up. I guess he’ll never try to take a nap again.
32. Something’s wrong
Where did his fur go? Why is he naked? This penguin has a long list of questions.
33. Locked.
He fell asleep with his humans around. When he woke up, he was all alone. He was wondering where they all went.
34. Attention
This is the cat’s best way to get people’s attention. He stands on his hind legs and show his fluffy belly.
35. Disbelief
Someone called him a cat and he’s quite shocked. How can anyone think he’s a cat? Moreover, how can anyone dare say he’s a cat?
36. A spoiled cat
This cat is quite spoiled. Each time she wants something, she does this. It’s hard to blame the human, however. No can resist such charm.
37. Looking for a friend
He was feeling quite lonely at home. It was a good thing he was able to find a friend that can keep him cool throughout the day.
38. Just watching
It’s hard to be at home by yourself. Fortunately, this cat found a way to keep himself entertained. He can easily spend hours standing by the window to watch birds and squirrels dropping by.
39. His turn
He’s not open to negotiating with his human. It’s his turn to sit on the couch so his human needs to leave ASAP.
40. Too noisy
Humans have a good way of messing up their cats’ sleeping schedule. This kitten, for example, wasn’t supposed to be up yet. His human was being too loud in the kitchen so he had to get up.
41. Missing ears
He slept with his ears intact. When he woke up, they’re already missing. He’s thinking his human had something to do with it.
42. Late
He was pretty sure he woke up on time. However, for some reason, no human or food was on the table when he woke up from his nap. He probably needs to adjust his sleeping schedule next time.
43. Bored
He’s getting bored of his toys. He’s telling his human that he needs new ones. Plus, he’s arguing about the enclosure. How can he have fun when he’s inside it?
44. Yard work
They’re about to start gardening again and he’s not too happy about it. He doesn’t really like getting his paws dirty.
45. Dream
In his sleep, dozens of little rats were chasing him. They were about to get his tail when he woke up.
46. Guarding the human
This cat goes wherever his human goes. He likes to keep an eye on him to make sure no one takes him away.
47. A wishing cat
It’s hard to guess what this cat was wishing for. If I were to guess, my bet is on a whole bag of cat food.
48. Left out
He woke up to find his humans eating without him. He’s thinking hard for a reasonable excuse why they would do such a thing.
49. Seriously?
We all know that cats are judgmental but this cat’s reaction is over the top. I’d feel embarrassed if my cat looked at me this way.
50. Reaction
No matter how hard this cat tries, he can’t hide his penguin instinct. After hearing a bird out the window, this was how he reacted.
51. A big cat
This cat’s transformation is more than complete. He doesn’t look like a penguin anymore. Instead, he looks like a catzilla!
52. Please?
When your cat starts making this face, there’s no saying no. Even if you try, you’ll find it hard to refuse.
53. Why?
He was still sleeping when his human came and fixed the bed. He’s having a hard time questioning why his human would do such a cruel thing to him.
54. Working out in secret
This cat thought that he found the perfect spot to do his workout routine without humans seeing him. Unfortunately, his human was one step ahead of him. He was able to set up a camera without him knowing.
55. Cone
It’s a good thing that we can’t see his face. I’m pretty sure he’s unimpressed with the cone, particularly at how small it is for his size.
56. The smell of breakfast
He’s not asleep but he’s still not awake. The smell of breakfast made him get up and he’s now following its scent.
57. Missing something
This odd is near to fully transforming into a penguin. Apart from being able to stand up, his clears are also missing!
58. Lovely view
Having a penguin at home is nice. You don’t just get a pet but you’ll also have this view all the time.
59. Sneezing cat
This is a photo of a cat that’s about to sneeze after aprreciating the flowers. He’s not high or drugged.
60. Can’t choose
He’s torn between letting the human pet him on the head and refusing to be touched. You can definitely see the dilemma on his face.
61. Time to sleep
He was wondering why the humans aren’t moving out of his bed. It’s time to sleep and they’re taking his spot on the bed.
62. Impressing the human
The black cat knows how to make the human give him treats and he’s using the trick every single time. Meanwhile, the cat on his side remains clueless about how he does it.
63. First time
Penguins aren’t used to seeing humans using the bathroom. That’s probably why this one had that shocked look on his face. It’s probably his first time to see an actual human pooping.
64. Too early
10 o’clock in the morning is still too early for this cat. His human should’ve waited a bit longer before waking him up.
65. Waiting
This cat has an interesting habit. He likes to stand up while waiting for his treats. It’s probably his way of impressing his humans.
66. Annoyed
He’s tired of people telling him that he’s a cat. Whatever others say, for him, he’s a penguin. No one can change his mind.
67. Caught
He was just walking by when he heard his humans gossiping. This was his reaction when they saw him eavesdropping.
68. Hearing the truth
She was told that she’s not really a penguin but a cat. The truth left her mortified. I guess the truth really hurts sometimes.
69. Just being a good companion
This cat will do anything to keep the patient entertained. That includes pretending to be a penguin and staying completely still.
70. Fluffy
This is the fluffiest penguin you’ll see. He probably has that kind of coat to keep himself warm.
71. Curious
This adorable kitten has spent his entire morning trying to figure out the thing in his human’s glass. He was wondering why it doesn’t look like a fish but it can swin.
72. On duty
He’s been told to watch over the trash to make sure no mouse can get to it. With that look and stance, it looks like he’s doing an awesome job.
73. Under hypnosis
Someone’s cat is about to get stolen. This one’s clearly hypnotized.
74. Arguing with the cat
I don’t know why this man is even trying. He’ll clearly lose to that kitten. You see, cats always win arguments. Even if you’re right, you’d still end up wrong.
75. Checking out the neighbors
At 3 months old, this adorable cat already knows when the neighbors are cooking fish. She can sense it even if she’s a mile away.
