Heart-Nosed Persian Kitten's Unique Fur Pattern Is Stealing Hearts
Persian cats are known for their fluffy coats, grumpy faces, and smushed muzzles that make their noses look like tiny round buttons right between their eyes. They're a popular breed with cat lovers, and they're among the most expensive; expect to pay $1,000 to $5,000 to buy one, unless you're lucky enough to adopt one for less from a shelter. One Persian cat, in particular, named Coconut, is collecting views and likes on TikTok for her looks after a December 2025 post, but not for the typical traits associated with the breed.

This bicolor seal point, blue-eyed cat with a heart-shaped nose made her first TikTok appearance in September 2025, along with her littermates. The dark fur around her eyes and below her nose makes her look more like a raccoon than a cat, and fans are loving it. In the clip above, Coconut's breeder holds her in her hands to show her off. Despite being moved around from side to side, the "fluffy little munchkin" doesn't move a muscle; she cooperates so well, you could easily mistake her for a stuffed animal.
In less than a month, more than 49,000 viewers have already liked the post, and more than 1,200 have left comments. One person compared her to Master Shifu from Kung Fu Panda, which more than 13,000 viewers agreed is a spot-on comparison. Another described her as "a collection of angry dryer lint." A third fan joked that Coconut "looks like she wants to speak with the manager."
Where is Coconut the Persian cat now?
The woman in the video, Kaleena, breeds Shih Tzus and Persian cats in Louisiana, and Coconut and her siblings were born in her home. Her website boasts of her "holistically raised, friendly, adorable Shih Tzus and Persians," so many of the pets featured on her social media accounts don't stay in her care for long. As for Coconut. Kaleena couldn't resist her cuteness, so she kept her! The fluffy feline now shares a home with a pair of Shih Tzus named Lemon and Fred, a pair of Persians named Midnight and Agnes, and other cats.
Coconut gets her bicolor and color point mix from her Himalayan genetics, and like all other pointed kittens, her fur has darkened with age, as Kaleena explains on her website. When she's not posing for social media videos, she spends her days lounging with her housemates and strengthening her love-hate relationship with her brush. Later this year, Coconut will have a litter of her own, producing even more bicolor and color point kittens. Until then, fans can expect more posts of this charming, smoosh-faced kitty as a solo bundle of joy.
