Devi Larsen named her cat Loki because of his mischievous demeanor.
“Like the name suggests, he’s also very mischievous and will look directly at you while knocking something off the counter,” she told The Dodo.
But Loki recently played the ultimate trick on his mom, making her think that she was seeing double.

Loki was enjoying the outdoors while his mom was inside on a work call.
“Ever since he was a kitten, he has always been fascinated with the outside,” Larsen said. “And by fascinated, I mean running out and immediately sprawling out on the ground or eating grass.”

Larsen doesn’t want Loki getting into any trouble so she keeps him tethered on a leash when he goes to play outside.
She was extremely concerned when she heard Loki growling since he usually gets along with everyone.
“He is one of the friendliest cats you will ever meet,” Larsen said.

“When people who don’t tend to like cats come over, he always changes their opinions of them since he’s so social and loves meeting new people.”
This just wasn’t one of those times. Because Loki wasn’t yelling at a person.

For a minute, Larsen thought she was looking at Loki growling at Loki until she realized there were two different chubby grey cats in the yard.
“I’ve never seen another cat like Loki around our area before so when I got out and saw the scene set before me I was extremely confused!” Larsen said. “It took me a minute to process that one of these was not my guy!”

Larsen tried to deescalate the confrontation between Loki and his “twin” but it didn’t work out so well after Loki slipped off his leash.
“I finally see the other cat has a black harness so I quickly grab that and go to hold my cat back,” Larsen wrote on Reddit. “Before I can, he launches himself quicker than this jiggly beast has ever moved in his life. He full-on tackles this other cat and they slap together like PB and jelly.”

Larsen was eventually able to safely get her cat inside but not without incurring a few scratches.
Let’s just say that it was the last time Loki was allowed outside unsupervised.
She’s actually building him a catio where he can avoid a face-off with his “twin” while still enjoying some sunshine and a breeze.

Larsen said she wasn’t really sure why Loki reacted the way he did to the grey cat.
“He’s usually pretty good with other animals as we have fostered quite a bit,” Larsen said. “Maybe he didn’t like what he saw in the mirror.”

But lots of people on the internet do.
Loki has his very own Instagram page with more than 177 followers.
There were thousands who upvoted his story on Reddit.

According to these pages, he’s at “Chonk level 3000” and definitely not “big-boned.”
He is also known to sleep with one eye open.
That way no one can steal his food.

He’s just been waiting on mom to finish up his catio or cat patio. In the meantime, you can follow Loki on Instagram at loki_the_chonk.
