Melissa is a Russian cat who bears a genius resemblance to a famous scientist. Alina Esther, photographer and owner of the cat, compared Melissa's inclination to stick her tongue out to everyone's favorite picture of Albert Einstein.

Melissa isn't the only cat who sticks her tongue out, but it's unclear why she does so because many cats with tongue-heavy expressions are missing teeth, like the Internet-famous Lil Bub.

Maybe Melissa can develop a general theory of meow-ativity.
