A resident was amused after spotting a pet cat that resembles American ‘King of Rock and Roll' Elvis Presley's hairstyle.

Harith Hud was waiting for his turn outside a shop when he saw the feline passing by in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on October 1.

The creature had a black patch of fur on its head that looked like the singer and actor's iconic side-burn hairstyle, so he went to pet it while breaking into a laugh.

Footage shows the moggy ignoring the local as it walked across the tiled path. The man could be heard giggling when he looked closer at the cat.

Harith said: ‘The cat has a better hairstyle than me, and a rockstar attitude too. It would not look at me no matter what I did. It was funny.'

He added that the pet cat was wearing a collar, meaning it lived nearby and was only roaming for some free time.

He said: 'It lives nearby, but I'm not sure who the owners are.'

The cat went up the stairs after the brief encounter.

Harith jokingly said: ‘It was a nice day. It was like I had a meet-and-greet with Elvis Presley.'

Elvis Presley was an American popular singer and one of rock music's most dominant performers in the 1950s. One of his greatest hits includes ‘Can't help falling in love.'
