b.meatball - international cat of mystery?

this is my cat bruce meatball:



this is "clarence" of last chance studio:



were it not for bruce's red collar (which he has been known to squeeze out of) and "clarence's" cast for his supposed broken arm, i would think they were suspiciously similar.
could it be a case of scallywag-like trickery?

i'm on to you CAT.
