For every cat owner, his pet is the most original, unique and unrepeatable, although those who are indifferent to cats will argue that they all behave the same. However, in the case of Pumpkin (this is the nickname this strange ginger cat has), even those who consider all cats alike and boring are surprised and laugh. And all because this striped creature makes incredibly funny grimaces.
For some time, Pumpkin was an ordinary cat and did not differ in anything special. But recently, the family he lives with decided to take Pumpkin and his brother to the beach - for the first time in their life. Well, would it be fair to live a short cat's life and never see the sea? It was then that it became clear that the talent of the mime was still missing in Pumpkin.
- The cat liked the sea, and the sand too, - the owner will explain, - But it turned out that our charming red-haired boy loves the beach, but absolutely hates the strong wind. - On the very first day, when my daughter and I brought him to the beach, the wind rose, and then Pumpkin began to make faces. We had never noticed anything like it before, so we quickly filmed his grimaces. Then we made beach photos from this five-second clip!
Since then, the owners regularly come to the beach, where the cat really likes it. Until the wind blows … What then begins to happen to him! The pumpkin wrinkles its nose, bares its fangs, even shows its tongue to the wind.
Meanwhile, the owners admit that their ginger cat has always loved to spend time outdoors and travel with his human family.
- Pumpkin was so adorable from the start. He is so curious, quick-witted and very intuitive. He is also friendly with all the animals around and they love him too.
Now, having discovered that the pet can grimace in a funny way, the owners are actively sharing its photos in social networks and even made an "emotion map", inviting Internet users to determine what mood the cat is in a particular picture. The cat became very popular and they even began to make meme pictures with him.
Where does an ordinary ginger cat have such abilities? It is impossible to determine whether this was manifested in his ancestors or not, because Pumpkin was taken by his owners as a small kitten in an animal shelter.
- Then we decided to take home a mother and four kittens, so that later they would be attached. We immediately fell in love with all of them, but especially the Pumpkin. We just couldn't give it up. And at the same time they kept his brother, who was distinguished by an expressive mustache, because he and Pumpkin were inseparable, - says the owner.
After a while, the family discovered that Pumpkin had cerebellar hypoplasia, affecting the part of his brain (thankfully mildly) that controls his motor skills. This sometimes makes him awkward. Maybe it is this feature that allows the cat to grimace so strangely?
In any case, Pumpkin lives in a caring and loving family, he feels good and enjoys life, regularly visiting the beach. And he is always happy to run in the sand with his brother. Until the first wind.
