Cats that look like pin-ups: Clever blog matches the world's most glamorous kittens with their real woman counterparts

By Deborah Arthurs

|

A clever marketing executive tasked with promoting a new rockabilly fashion shop struck gold - when she came upon the idea of creating a tumblr account of cats that look like vintage pin-up girls.

The resulting blog went viral - a staggering success for Rach Aslett, the creative brain behind the idea - who says this was the first stunt of this kind she had ever attempted.

The Australian creative brain devised the idea to launch clothing and accessories store Hurly Burly - and had no idea that the resulting blog would become so popular.

Here are a few of the best matches - for the rest, visit catsthatlooklikepinupgirls.tumblr.com.

In nearly every case, the version with the cat is far more attractive than the original! Adorable.

Regarding the last pic - the pets absolutely are NOT drugged. The owner has simply trained them to be like that and he'll admit it was a very difficult task. I think he's unemployed and he makes his living by letting people take pics and asking for donations in return. He's already been investigated by authorities from being reported by shocked tourists and nothing has ever been found. He's very affectionate with his pets. I know because I lived in SF for a time and saw and spoke to him on occasion.
