The tale of the Cheshire Cat is true: Here is the kitten that simply cannot stop grinning
JUST like Lewis Carroll’s fun-loving feline in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, happy-go-lucky Rey is always sporting a mischievous smile.
Rey is the kitten that simply cannot stop grinning
Five month old Rey has become an Instagram sensation after her cheerful, chirpy “paw-traits” began putting a smile on everyones face.
With her cute, up-turned mouth and sparkly eyes, anyone looking at Ray cannot help think that Grumpy Cat has finally met his match.
Rey’s owners Jenni Colborn and her husband Aaron Colborn are certainly smitten by the fun-loving kitten that lives with them at their home in Salt Lake City, Utah.
“A lot of my friends, family, neighbours and co-workers are just obsessed with Rey and her smile,” Jenni, 27, told ABC News.

We like to think she's the anti-Grumpy Cat
“We like to think she's the anti-Grumpy Cat, his self-proclaimed arch nemesis.”
The Colborns adopted Rey from an animal shelter in November after she had been found straying in an alleyway.
It was love at first sight for Jenni.
“The little cat was just smiling at me and she crawled up to my lap, and I was like, 'Welp! I guess we're going to have a third cat now…” she explained.

Rey was given her name by Star Wars fan Aaron in honour of the heroine from the latest release and the kitten has now become something of a leading lady herself with her own Instagram gallery.
Aaron is a professional photographer and his pictures have become an internet sensation by making thousands smile.
Jenni added: “She knows how cute she is…”
