Hamster-Sized Foster Kitten Goes Viral for Looking Like an Adorable Cat-Version of Steve Buscemi

Many people who help animal shelters or simply just fosters as often as they can will turn to TikTok to share their experience to maybe help encourage others to help or to get the face of their little furry friend out there to help them find their furever home. 

One foster mama who goes by @houstonfosterdogmom on TikTok recently posted about a certain itty bitty foster kitten that has everyone on the app going wild. The kitten was a three month old baby that weighed the size of a three week old. She actually isn't the foster of the kitten, but was asked to watch the little baby for 24 hrs. She excitedly agreed and had fun with him in the meantime. The kitten loved her big dog even though he was 1000x bigger than him. The TikToker's cat didn't seem to like the extra company, but overall, it was a good experience for the little guy. 

She posted her time with the smol feline named Benny on her TikTok and commenters were quick to point out that this kitty should be named Steve, because he looked like the cat-version of Steve Buscemi…

The cat was already popular for simply being so itty bitty and cute, but now that someone pointed out its similarities to the beloved actor, the kitten's fame just keeps rising and rising. One viewer has been commenting every day until her request to get the kitten a tiny fireman helmet and put a side by side photo comparison to Buscemi in his fireman uniform.

The TikToker says even though she is not the official foster for the kitty Steve Buscemi lookalike she is in contact with who is and promises to keep posting updates about the little critter. As a foster she says it's all for the cat and to help him find his furever home. If he needs to be posted as Steve Buscemi the Cat in order for him to find a loving home, then of course that's how it's gotta be.
