Jyn the cat, a pretty black and white tuxedo girl, is already very popular. Her TikTok and Instagram accounts (both @mycatjyn), have 655K and 174K followers respectively. But the feline recently reached new heights of Internet stardom when her humans assembled the 1,710-brick LEGO Ideas Tuxedo Cat and posted a photo of the real Jyn side-by-side with LEGO Jyn on Instagram. The post has racked up more than 4 million likes so far.

“We did NOT realise quite how similar it was going to be 😂,” her humans wrote in the August 12 post. “We’re thinking of getting a few black pieces to replace the nose and tip of the tail so it will be TRULY identical!”

Along with the photo, the carousel post includes two short videos. In the first, Jyn meets her LEGO twin—she walks up and gives it a good sniff.

The second video, you really just need to see for yourself. But to fully appreciate it, it helps to know a little background on this super deluxe $100 LEGO set.

Once built, it’s not a static cat statue—you can rotate the head and adjust its ears, paws, and tail, according to LEGO’s website. You can also build the cat’s mouth to be open or closed, and if you’d like to change the cat’s expression, you can rebuild the mouth the other way whenever you want. Pretty cool stuff.

Jyn, on the other hand, is a very real cat. Even her Instagram profile notes she’s “the real Jyn Slamey,” and as if in answer to the classic Eminem track that references, she “stands up,” figuratively speaking, with some cute moves to distinguish herself from the impostor. In the second video in the post (swipe through to the last slide to see), Jyn sits beside her lookalike and looks directly into the camera with striking green, full-moon eyes. Then she licks her nose with her adorable pink tongue and wiggles her ears. Beat that LEGO cat!

Now, I’m a self-described cat lover, and while I’ve never devoted an Instagram account to my fur babies, I know a thing or two about trying to catch the perfect photo of my cats interacting with a new addition to their feline kingdom. I gotta say, I have no idea how Jyn and her humans pulled off this cuteness, but it’s epic.

Some commenters noted that Jyn and the LEGO cat look identical (“Wait which one is the real one”).

For others, Jyn stole the show with her natural charm and distinctive, huge, round eyes that have an almost cartoon look—which led to a side fan conversation about how Jyn looks like a character from the animated series Bob’s Burgers:

“I love Jyn so much. She reminds me of a character in Bob’s Burger 😂,” it started, to which someone responded, “lol I was sitting here wondering why it was the real cat that looked like a cartoon to me 😹.” Yet another added, “I was JUST going to say ‘Bob Belcher’ because of the stache lol.”

LEGO cat is impressive—but it looks like Jyn wins this round.
