There's always room in our hearts for another feline internet sensation, especially when the cat in question looks just like one of Studio Ghibli's most beloved characters. Gimo is a Scottish Fold living with his family, and the black ball of fluff has gained popularity on Instagram for his adorable resemblance to makkuro kurosuke, or soot sprites, that often appear in Ghibli films.

With round innocent eyes and a gaze that could melt even the iciest of hearts, it's no wonder Gimo has hundreds of thousands of fans worldwide who would ask for nothing more than to follow every squeal-worthy step that the living ball of fur takes. It isn't just Gimo that makes an appearance on social media, however, and his feline siblings make the real life soot sprite's daily shenanigans absolutely irresistible.
