The latest cat to conquer the Internet is a meowlevalent dictator.

Meowseph Stalin is a cat who bears a hilariously eerie resemblance to Joseph Stalin. According to the Telegraph, he rules his subjects—Oslo, Norway, resident Anne Sofie and her boyfriend—with an iron fist and a purr of power. He also reigns over Instagram, where he has 9,000 loyal followers brainwashed into devotion by the power of his mighty mustache:

When he’s not terrorizing the local bird population, Meowseph terrorizes Sofie, who’s studying Japanese at the University of Oslo. (She’s currently a Stalin student, but later she’ll be a Stalingrad.) Like any proper benevolent dictator, Meowseph is helping Sofie pay off her student loans—with fashion:

Of course, we won’t really be satisfied with our evil feline overlords until Meowseph Stalin is joined by companion cats Meow Tse Tung, Meowsolini, Purr Pot, and Kitten Jong-Il.
