Move Over, Humans! These 12 Animal Celebs Truly Deserve an Oscar

Doug the Pug

@itsdougthepug

Doug is killin’ the Insta game. The self-proclaimed “King of Pop Culture” is likely making Kim Kardashian proud with his selfie-taking skills and loves a good costume. He currently boasts more than 3.7 million followers on the social media platform, which isn’t too shabby, ya know, for a pup.

Grumpy Cat

@realgrumpycat

This frisky feline, whose real name is Tardar Sauce, is the master of memes. Her fame is credited to reddit, which shared her frowning snap back in 2012. Don’t be fooled, though, she actually loves being cuddled! Check out the snap above of GC chillin’ with J.Lo. Can you say #goals?

Nala Cat

@nala_cat

Strike a pose! Nala was rescued from a hoarding situation back in 2010 and has since used her celebrity to spread awareness about shelter pets. Award-worthy, indeed.

Jiff Pom

@jiffpom

The perfectly groomed pooch shot to stardom after appearing in Katy Perry‘s music video for “Dark Horse.” Now, she’s arguably the most popular celeb on social media, with nearly 9 million followers on the ‘Gram. Oh yeah, and she also makes regular appearances on the red carpet with celebs like Ariana Grande and Heidi Klum (pictured above). With a face like that, we’d expect nothing less.

Tuna

@tunameltsmyheart

Melting hearts since 2010! “If you could use a little bit of joy & laughter, you’ve come to the right place!” her Instagram bio reads. The 9-year-old doggo is known for her toothy smile, and TBH, we could all learn a little something from her: Being different should be celebrated.

Manny the Frenchie

@manny_the_frenchie

Manny is the world’s most-followed bulldog and is heavily involved in charity work. Not to mention, he’s also a favorite amongst celebs. On February 18, the 8-year-old pooch commented a series of peace sign and kissing emojis on Kim K’s selfie.

Lil Bub

@iamlilbub

Rapper or famous kitty? Lil Bub was born with a variety of birth defects that dub her a “forever kitten.” Despite her dwarfism, osteopetrosis, extra toes and lack of teeth, she’s “small but mighty,” according to her Instagram bio. We stan an empowered female!

Waffles the Cat

@waffles_the_cat

Unlike most of us (er, me), Waffles has no bad angles. His folded ears and big bold eyes make him look cute doing, well, literally anything. When he was a kitten, however, no one wanted him. That said, we think he’s got the last meow now.

Marnie the Dog

@marniethedog

Marnie may be 17 years old (yes, you read that correctly), but she’s still kickin’. Adopted from a shelter at age 11, she now spends her days shopping and taking selfies with fellow celebrities like Demi Lovato and Sarah Hyland (pictured above). Her quirky personality and distinct tongue are just too dang adorable to ignore.

Bodhi

@mensweardog

Bodhi’s got better outfits than me, y’all! The Shiba Inu pup poses in human clothing on Instagram, and fans can’t seem to get enough. But don’t expect to catch him in the same outfit twice. Gasp! That would be a travesty.

Crystal the Monkey

Sure, Crystal may not have an Instagram, but that doesn’t make her any less famous. The 24-year-old primate has appeared in several blockbuster films including Night at the Museum, The Hangover Part II and Fun With Dick and Jane.

Wacha Cohen

@therealwacha

Wa(t)cha mean Wacha’s never appeared on film?! Andy Cohen‘s cute pup is ready to go from the small screen to the big screen. I mean, check out his chops above. Perhaps we can hook him up with Crystal’s agent?
