All of us are different in some way, but some of us prominently stand out from the rest. And sometimes the very thing that makes us stand out is often what makes us so special and loveable.

Take Mr. Magoo the cat for example.

He doesn’t look like an ordinary cat. That’s because Mr. Magoo’s tongue sticks out of his mouth 24/7. And he is absolutely adorable.

Mr. Magoo, a midnight tabby, is so beloved that this cat has an entire website dedicated to him. I mean look at this face! How can you not fall deeply in love with it?

Mr. Magoo was found living under a deck in Coquitlam, B.C. with his mom and brothers and sisters.

His human mom Natalie found the lot and decided to take them all to a local vet.

“When I first saw Magoo it was obvious that he was very special (and adorable),” Magoo’s human writes on his website. “

Magoo weighed only 14 oz. and had a slightly deformed skull which caused his lower jaw to go off to one side and his tongue to stick out. Other than that, he was completely healthy. Just a little different.

He was also only capable of eating canned food since he couldn’t open his mouth.

“So, as any Registered Veterinary Technician would do, I decided right then and there I had to keep him,” Natalie explains. “I brought him home with me that night and was so in love, I had truly met my furry little soul mate.”

Mr. Magoo has become quite famous for his unique look and has more than 3,900 followers on Facebook and the same number of followers on Instagram.

“Even though he has this disability, it never seems to slow him down. When I first met Magoo I thought that he needed me, but in reality, I was the one who needed him, he has changed my life forever,” Natalie writes.

Mr. Magoo updates people on “Magoo News” through his blog posts that offers pet safety information and other updates.

He also has his very own calendar that is available for purchase on his website.

“Mr. Magoo is now 2-years-old and is loving life. He loves cuddles on the couch, stealing dog and human food, jumping on counters, sneak attacks on his Pomeranian brothers and so much more, he is truly living life to the fullest,” says Natalie.
