Monk is your average black cat...but with vampire fangs
Attention lovers of spooky creatures: "vampire" cats exist, and we have a lot of photos of one very cute one.
Monk, a 6-year-old black rescue cat, has straight up vampire fangs growing out of his mouth.
Luckily for us, Monk's human Nicole Rienzie documents the cat's life on Instagram and she confirmed the very real choppers on her cat.

"The fangs are 100 percent real," Rienzie wrote in an email to Mashable. "The fangs are 3/4 inch long from the gum line...in other words...HUGE."
Rienzie also explained that even though cats having fangs is not normal, it's perfectly healthy.
"The vet says that although [the fangs are] rare, they pose no health threats, and he is happy and healthy," she told Mashable. "Monk is a very unique cat and so it's only fitting that he ended up with a unique characteristic. He's special."
"[Monk] helps me manage my depression and grief. As does his younger brother, Bean," Rienzie told Mashable.
However, her other cat Bean's incisors are more standard-sized.
The cat mama runs the Instagram account from the perspectives of Monk & Bean, which makes for some pretty fun captions.
"Their account use to be mine but I deleted all my material and changed the username and began using it to satisfy my crazy cat lady needs," Rienzie explained. "Monk & Bean are my 'children' so I want to show them off to the world...like any parent would. Haha."
