Take me to your followers!
First there was Matilda the Alien Cat, now 4-year-old brothers Manchego and Chipotle have disembarked their meowing mothership and settled on Earth.
The two San Francisco Persians belong to Veronica Lujan, who adopted the siblings when they were just 6 months old. Wanting to share the pair’s unusual looks with others, Lujan posted a few photos of the derpy-looking duo on her Instagram.
“At first I thought people would find endless photos of someone else s cats annoying. But a handful of strangers discovered our funny fellas and started following them so I began sharing photos of Chip and Chego photos regularly,” Lujan, 33, told Caters.
As they got more and more popular followers would be vocally disappointed if I posted photos of anything else so I created a new account for myself and gave this account entirely over to the boys.
Manchego and Chipotle’s account now has over 21,000 followers. Thanks to their big eyes and odd behaviors, the felines have earned the title “alien cats of Instagram.” While the kitties are Internet superstars, they still act like any other set of siblings.
They tear around the house playing and chasing each other multiple times throughout the day and night,” Lujan said. “Sometimes the tussling gets out of hand.Yet they hang out and sleep together often, just not quite touching or cuddling.”
