OMG she could be the next Hello Kitty! only it’s China!

Snoopy, an exotic short-hair cat, is already a huge hit in his native China and this year has taken the rest of the world by storm.

He already has more than 300,000 followers on Weibo – China’s version of Twitter – and a further 205,000 on Instagram.

The growth in Snoopy’s popularity will be seen as a threat to established feline internet stars Maru and Grumpy Cat Tardar Sauce.

Japanese cat Maru has previously been hailed the internet’s most famous feline and videos of her antics have been viewed millions of times.

Grumpy Cat is so popular she was chosen as ‘spokescat’ for a Friskies brand of cat food, it was announced this month.

Snoopybabe’s fan base is growing rapidly.
