Human models like Naomi Campbell and Zoolander are great, but have you ever seen a dachshund smile with its eyes?

Photographer Amy Davis got sick of using her friends as models for her grad school assignments, so she vowed to complete a semester using only her cat, Penny, as a model. Turns out, Penny makes a pretty spot-on Bob Dylan.

Davis' series "Anthropomorphism" improves celebrity portraits by replacing Justin Timberlake, Harrison Ford and Katy Perry with their dogglegangers and dupli-cats.

"All of the sets are built in my living room and all of the costumes are either handmade or purchased at a local pet store." Davis told Mashable. "As the series progressed, I brought my friends' pets into the project and it developed into a funny commentary on how much this nation spends on costumes to personify their pets."

Perhaps the most interesting reveal of the series -- Beck and Kanye aren't enemies after all. They are actually the same cat.
