A real CAT walk: Sweet moment model practising her runway strut finds feline mimicking her movements
This is the adorable moment a sassy cat copies its owner as she practises her runway strut.
Mrunmayee Akolkar, who is from India, set up her camera to rehearse her catwalk when she hilariously noticed that her feline followed in her footsteps.
Her furry, ginger kitty was sat supporting the content creator from the sidelines before jumping up to give it a go.
Mrunmayee’s pet stole the show as he stepped down and slowly followed her down the imaginary runway.
She wrote: ‘I was shooting and suddenly noticed this,’ before showing her sweet pet mimicking her movements.

All eyes were on the cat – who is named Oli – as he showed off his greatest stroll down the runway.
She continued and wrote: ‘So now, we are walking!! Catwalk with a cat.’
Mrunmayee picked Oli up before placing him back at the start of the catwalk so they could step together in harmony.
The content creator – who has more than 55,000 followers on Instagram – could not hide her excitement.
She beamed as Oli followed her down the runway for the second time – with her followers joking that Mrunmayee was mentored by her feline.
The clip went viral and has racked up a whopping 13.8million views since September.
Her video received two million likes and thousands of comments as cat lovers commented their thoughts.
One wrote: ‘Your career is done before it started. She’s gonna take away all jobs.’

It comes after an adorable kitten has been nursed back to health after being found without a tail or ears.
The tiny, stray feline, who is named Kiara, was just ten weeks old when a passerby discovered her wandering wearily through the streets.
The kind person then took a cold and hungry Kiara to the nearby Woodgreen Pets Charity in Cambridgeshire to be assessed by their staff.
On arrival, she was transferred straight to its veterinary team for a thorough examination.
There, vets were able to identify the wounds where her ears and tail should have been.
Since the wounds had already started to scab, Kiara did not require any treatment.
A spokesperson for the charity could not say for sure how Kiara sustained her lesions but speculated that ‘it may have been frostbite’ or the result of ‘a traumatic injury.’

Kiara did, however, have treatment to tackle a nasty infestation of fleas and worms, and remained under supervision for the next few days.
Yet, after receiving plenty of food and enjoying the warmth and care provided by the charity, she made a remarkable recovery.
Kiara has since been rehomed with a smitten new family.
A spokesperson from Woodgreen Pets Charity said: ‘Despite her unknown start in life, young Kiara was surprisingly full of confidence and very sociable.
‘She craved constant affection from everyone around her.
‘Kiara stayed with one of Woodgreen’s Cat team for a couple of days, before going to stay with a foster carer, which helped prepare her for life in her new home.
‘Two weeks after arriving at Woodgreen, Kiara was rehomed to a loving family.’
They added: ‘Sadly, Woodgreen has seen an increase in stray cats and kittens coming to its centre.
‘Over the past 12 months the charity has taken in 205 stray cats/kittens, compared to 150 over the previous 12 months.’
