Actor/Musician Dylan Minnette Finally Responds to Viral Cat Lookalike Meme on TikTok

Several years ago a cat serviced the Internet that instantly took meme stardom. This isn't very shocking, since many cats are beautifully meme-able. This one in particular first got popular because someone pointed out that it looked exactly like the 13 Reasons Why actor/ Wallows band member Dylan Minnette. The hilarious similarities between the feline and the fella were so uncanny that the Internet went crazy for it. 

As viral memes be doing, people started to use the photo of the Dylan Minnette lookalike for many things Internet, some creating entire profiles around the personality. One person on TikTok is constantly posting #stitch responses using the Dylan Minnette cat lookalike and they over 70k lives. It's been a running joke in internet culture and it's normal to see this cat on my social media posts. 

What About Dylan Minnette Cat?

Dylan Minnette is a professional actor and musician. He most recently was in the newest Scream film, he was a main character on the popular show 13 Reasons Why and he tours with his band the Wallows, even recently playing Coachella. So he's a busy guy. I guess that's some sort of excuse to not acknowledging the cat going viral on the Internet because it is his lookalike, but to the Internet world , that's just plain recklessness. 

Minnette (the human, not cat) says he doesn't tend to use TikTok unless it's for his band's account. However, her recently created a personal profile because someone on the app was trying to create a Dylan Minnette account and make it officially them, even though it was not the real Minnette. So he decided to make his own official profile, to help prevent a stranger posting as him on the app. His most recent post will make fans of the Dylan Minnette cat jump with glee—he has finally reacted. 

“When people say I look like this cat…”

He technically doesn't say a word, but he doesn't have to. The video says “when people say I look like this cat” and then he gives a look of “welp… sh*t"—it's all in the eyes. Plus, the face he makes ends up looking just like the face the cat is making. So he's even further proven the point that this cat is, in fact, most definitely, his official doppelgänger.
