u/SunCloud-777 Nov 17 '24

celebrating like a Boss, happy birthday to Stepan. is that what you call the dark choc mousse 🐭cake? the Boss is definitely eyeing for it -looks delish.

Isn’t this the same cat???

Or maybe you posted this knowing it was the same cat and I’m just being captain obvious

IT IS THE SAME CAT HE IS FAMOUS CONFIRMED

u/Creative-Display-3 Nov 17 '24

I'm tripping too. Looks like the exact same cat.

u/_echtra Nov 17 '24

Yes it’s the same cat he’s Stepan and he’s Instagram famous (@loveyoustepan)

u/FirstRedditAcount Nov 17 '24

I've been staring at, and comparing the fur patterns between the two photos for far too long now. That's 101% the same damn cat.

I love him.

u/Tool-Expert Nov 17 '24

Here are both of them side by side.

u/ostiDeCalisse Nov 17 '24

That "not impressed" attitude is his trademark.

u/cat-math Nov 17 '24

It's fantastic. I'm in love.

It’s good sword

u/melissapiexo Nov 17 '24

Could very well be because the post is not OC, same markings, but most obvious tell is his signature distinguished gentleman pose.

He would however be illegally drinking because he’s not 21, unless he’s from Germany, drinking age over there is 16 years.

71

u/Eishockey Nov 17 '24

He relocated to Germany from Kharkiv!

146

u/Particular_Gur7378 Nov 17 '24

He is Ukrainian!

84

u/melissapiexo Nov 17 '24

Just checked, legal drinking age in Ukraine is 18 years, unless it’s beer, beer has no minimum drinking age according to Google lol

30

u/BlaBlub85 Nov 17 '24

Nitpicky correction: The legal age to be allowed to buy beer & wine yourself is 16 in Germany. Your still allowed to drink if your parents/legal guardians give you alcohol before your 16

28

u/Particular_Gur7378 Nov 17 '24

Sounds like my house growing up lol

33

u/Unhappy-Plantain5252 Nov 17 '24

Eh, he is European, we start drinking at the age of 12

29

u/Excision_Lurk Nov 17 '24

In cat years he's 64

18

u/snonsig Nov 17 '24

He would however be illegally drinking because he’s not 21, unless he’s from Germany, drinking age over there is 16 years.

Legal drinking age in most countries is under below 21

u/lemonleaff Nov 17 '24

Maybe it's different in cat years.

u/enilix Nov 17 '24

*Unless he's from all European countries, not just Germany. And I'm also pretty sure most South American, Asian, etc. countries.

u/s1r_ch1cken Nov 16 '24

Such a cute picture.

Stephan doesn't look impressed by the cake at all 🤣

151

u/joalheagney Nov 17 '24

It looks like chocolate and sugar. Stephan is pissed because he definitely won't be allowed a slice because it's made of two things that are bad for cats.

87

u/_Ol_Greg Nov 17 '24

Perfect birthday for a cat would be a "cake" which is literally just an open can of tuna or sardines, a cardboard box to play in, and random bread ties spread around the floor. Maybe even a few bonus decoy valuables for them to push off of the shelves.

u/mrBigBoi Nov 17 '24

He looks like he's about to grab that bottle and just walk to his room closing the door behind him. "Ummm Stepan! Do you need a " ::slam!:: ".... Glass?"

u/_kushagra Nov 17 '24

He doesn't even like mouse

u/antarcticacitizen1 Nov 17 '24

Stephan, "WTF bro? Where's the other 10 mice??"

2

u/nerdhappyjq Nov 17 '24

Well, it is missing 10 mice.
