Cats That Look Like Hitler! is a satirical website featuring photographs of cats resembling Adolf Hitler, dictator of Germany from 1933 to 1945.[1] Such cats are often referred to as kitler on the Internet.[2] The majority of the cats are piebald, with a large black splotch underneath their noses, much like the dictator's toothbrush moustache, and other features that suggest a typically stern expression. Some have diagonal black patches on their heads resembling Hitler's fringe. The site was founded by Koos Plegt and Paul Neve in 2006[3] and became widely known after being featured on several television programmes across Europe[3][4][5] and Australia.[6] The site was later run only by Neve. By February 2013 he had approved photographs of over 7,500 cats.[7] The website has not been updated since April 2014.
In popular culture
Cats are a popular staple of Internet culture, and Cats That Look Like Hitler! can be considered an offshoot of a broader cultural fascination with cats on the Internet. Stephen Colbert mentioned the site on The Colbert Report in July 2010.[8]
The Times writer Ben Machell has interviewed the owners of sensational cats such as those on the site.[9]
