Wolf Entertainment, CBS StudiosIt's not unusual for a celebrity to have a doppelgänger, whether they're a normal person, an equally famous star, or an iconic cartoon character. But sometimes, the best celeb lookalike comes in cat form — and no, I'm not joking.From Freddie Mercury and Ron Perlman to Adam Driver and Anya Taylor-Joy, there's quite a list of celebrities who share an uncanny resemblance with a random cat on the internet.The latest celeb to get matched with their copycat is none other than Avril Lavigne, and it's actually so good. The Canadian singer has been rocking an iconic smokey eye since she rose to fame in the early aughts, and it's become part of her signature look.
