Cats That Look Like Hitler is a satirical website featuring photographs of cats resembling Adolf Hitler, dictator of Germany from 1933 to 1945.[1] Such cats are often referred to as kitler on the Internet.[2] Most of the cats are piebald, with a large black splotch underneath its nose, much like the dictator's toothbrush moustache, and other features that suggest a typically stern expression. Some have diagonal black patches on their heads resembling Hitler's fringe. The site was founded by Koos Plegt and Paul Neve in 2006[3] and became widely known after being featured on several television programmes across Europe[3][4][5] and Australia.[6] The site is now run only by Neve; as of February 2013 he had approved photographs of over 7,500 cats.[7] The site is seemingly no longer maintained, as the webpage has not been updated since April 2014.
