She’s wild, messy, and unbelievably cute — just like her dog! Kaley Cuoco and Tom Pelphrey’s 2-year-old daughter Matilda “Tildy” is a certified animal lover, and the obsession goes so far, she’s even starting to look like one of her family’s furry friends.
“💫 Life lately💫,” the Based on a True Story star wrote on Instagram today. She added this quote, “’Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.’ 🦋Robert Brault.”

This photo roundup included several heartwarming moments of Tildy. In one, she eats ice cream before bed, wearing the cutest Little Mermaid nightgown. In another, she uses an exercise machine with her dad standing right behind her for a little help. It’s actually ridiculous how cute this toddler is!
In between other photos of her snuggling with her human family, there is a picture on slide 16 that absolutely melts our hearts. In this one, Tildy sports some bedhead as she sits on the couch. She’s wearing a beige sweater, with her curly blonde hair in a messy array on top of her head. As she smiles at something (her reflection? The TV?), her dog sits on the couch behind her. The little white dog has the exact same ‘do as Tildy, with its white hair looking windblown and wild on top of his head.
We’ve heard of animal lovers looking like their pets, but we didn’t know it started this young!
The comments were full of love. Pelphrey wrote, “❤️❤️❤️ 🙌🙌🙌.”
“This is pure joy right here❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️,” another person wrote.
Before she was old enough to walk, Tildy already loved the family pets.
“[Tildy] is obsessed. What a beautiful thing to raise a kid — she’s only six months — surrounded by animals 24/7,” Cuoco previously told Entertainment Tonight.
“She’s in her walker now. She doesn’t walk, she doesn’t even crawl, but she miraculously is in her walker, like, running around the house, so we laugh,” Cuoco continued. “We’re like, ‘Look out, everybody. You’re gonna lose a tail.’”
“But they love her, they kiss her. I mean, from week two, they were kissing her on the mouth,” Cuoco added. “I was like, ‘Is this OK?’ And our pediatrician was like, ‘It’s totally fine.’ They’re kind of being raised together and it’s so beautiful and very natural, you know?”
Toddlers loving animals is already so cute, but Tildy takes it to a new level looking exactly like her dog.
These celeb families wouldn’t be complete without their furry friends.
