Usain Bolt purred around the track at the London Olympics and these two feline fans clearly want to follow in his paw-steps.

Tom and Jerry were quick to take on the Jamaican sprinter’s now legendary winning pose.

The pair were bought by Sittingbourne resident Julie Dearing during the Games - but she didn’t notice the similarity at first.

“As you can imagine, with two cute kittens we are taking photos all the time,” she said.

“But on looking back at our photos, we have one of them both doing the Usain Bolt pose.”

Julie was among a number of cat owners who noticed their pets were imitating the Olympic 100m gold medal winner.

One of them was Lydia Fitzsimmons, from Hove, whose three-year-old Cash made national headlines for his impression, although she said he was too fat to be a sprinter.
