That’s a real copycat! The Taiwanese cat bears a striking resemblance to Ace Venturer: Pet Detective star Jim Carrey

  • The cat – who has a bowl cut out and whiskers – lives in Changsha, Taiwan
  • The dodgy bangs make it look just like actor Jim Carrey in Dumb and Dumber

Social media has exploded after hilarious photos emerged online of a cat bearing identical resemblances to one of Jim Carrey’s famous characters.

The hilarious photos of the cat, wearing a bowl of whiskers, were posted online by Xander Tsai during the pandemic, but have only just been discovered.
