There’s a new masked hero captivating hearts, but this time it’s not the legendary Antonio Banderas—it’s a cat! Introducing Boy, affectionately known as Zorro. This 11-month-old Persian cat, residing in Banjarmasin, Indonesia, with his owner Indraini Wahyudin Noor, has gained quite the fan base thanks to his striking appearance.
When Indraini first shared Boy’s photos on TikTok and Instagram, fans couldn’t help but notice the uncanny resemblance to the iconic fictional character, Zorro. Boy’s black fur forms a mask and hat-like pattern that instantly brings the legendary masked vigilante to mind. Zorro, a character created by American writer Johnston McCulley in 1919, has long been a symbol of justice and cunning, appearing in various films and television series. In fact, the name “Zorro” means “fox” in Spanish, making it a fitting name for both the sharp-witted hero and this clever cat.
Boy has quickly become the star of his neighborhood, strutting around with the same confidence as his fictional counterpart. Indraini often shares videos of Boy prowling through his surroundings, and fans can’t get enough of this real-life feline Zorro.
Indraini, who cares for several cats, admits that Boy holds a special place in her heart. “The cat’s name is Boy, but many people call him Zorro,” she said. “I have many cats but this is the only one who has a mask on his face. He’s my favourite cat!” It’s no surprise, considering how unique Boy looks and behaves.
Recently, Boy became a proud father after mating with another black-and-white cat in Indraini’s household. Most of the kittens share a similar black-and-white color scheme, but one in particular stands out—a kitten that is a tiny replica of Boy, complete with the same “mask.” Naturally, this little one was named Bandit, following in his father’s footsteps with his striking resemblance.

As expected, the father-son duo has become a huge hit online. Videos of Boy and Bandit playing together have captured the attention of even more fans, who are loving the adorable bond between the two masked cats. Indraini frequently plays the “Zorro” theme song in the background of their videos, adding a fun twist to the already charming scenes.
There’s no doubt that Boy and Bandit are winning over hearts, just like the original Zorro did years ago. Watching their playful antics is truly a treat, and it’s safe to say that this feline family is enjoying their time in the spotlight.
