Sometimes, when an animal is out on the streets, they can develop complications that will affect them for the rest of their lives.
Even when the animal is rescued and given veterinary treatment, they may end up experiencing a few changes in order for them to live a healthy life. This remarkable kitty who lost his ears is a perfect example of this.
The world can be a scary place when you look a bit different, but luckily for one kitty, he’s surrounded by all the love he needs.
This dapper boy is fittingly named Potato, and he lives in China with his owners and his best friend and cat brother, Horlick. He was rescued from the streets of China two years ago, but the poor little thing was very unwell.
It was found that Potato had something called ceruminous adenoma in his ear canals and on his ear flaps. The vets treated the adenoma but sadly this rare tumor was reoccurring and the decision was made that Potato would have to have a little bit of surgery.
The brave little guy had his ear canals and flaps removed to prevent the disease from reoccurring, and now he could finally start to get better.
Potato was adopted around the time of his surgery, so he was lucky enough to be supported by his very own loving family as he recovered from his op.
In fact, Potato’s owners made him his very own Instagram account, which has already gained over 8,000 followers! People just can’t get enough of Potato’s cuteness. They shared this adorable pic with the caption ‘recovering well!’ Just look at that little round head.
Better still, Potato has now made a best friend — his brother Horlick. The two can be seen snuggled up together on Potato’s Instagram account and it’s truly adorable!
Horlick seems to be very protective over his brother and the pair always sleep right next to each other.
This adorable picture was captioned, ‘Potato is so clingy that he always sticks with Horlick to sleep.’ Don’t they make such a sweet little pair?
In this picture, Horlick puts his head lovingly on top of Potato’s as the pair drift off to sleep together. One comment said, ‘This is so freaking sweet!!’, and we can’t help but agree!
Another user said, ‘I wish my cats got along like this.’ The pair really do have a special bond.
Amazingly, Potato’s owners said on Instagram that the dapper boy still has his hearing! Though they are unsure of his age, writing:
“Potato was a stray cat, so no one knows when he was born or how old he is.”
They have estimated that this little guy is around six years old, but instead of celebrating his birthday, his owners choose to celebrate the day they adopted him. As he was adopted on April 25, 2019, he has now just celebrated his first ‘birthday!’
We’re so happy that potato has found his happy ending in his furever home, and we think he’s the most adorable cat in the whole world.
