Potato (Potato) - the most charming and beautiful of the earless cats, if you, of course, had to see such a miracle of nature. However, nature in this case has nothing to do with it. The cat lost its ears as a result of a serious illness. But this does not bother the owners at all - everything is long in the past. Potatoes are what they are. Sweet, kind and very beautiful. No wonder he won the hearts of Instagram users.
Although the appearance of Potato speaks of the presence of his pedigree ancestors, before entering the shelter, he was an ordinary yard cat. It is possible that earlier he had a house, and then the owners simply abandoned him. The fact remains: until the happy turn of fate, which will be discussed below, Potato was homeless. He wandered the streets of a Chinese city in search of food and probably would have ended his life somewhere in the alley if he had not fallen into the hands of animal rescuers.
Animal rights activists found a sick cat on the street two years ago and took him to a shelter. During the vet examination, the poor animal was found to have a serious ceruminous adenoma (benign tumor) in the ear canals and in the ears themselves. Then the cat was treated, the adenoma was removed, but after a while the disease returned. The veterinarian advised that his ear canals and ears be removed to prevent recurrence of the disease.
Fortunately, Potato underwent the operation well, the body recovered perfectly. And now the cat has found a home! The owners love him and he has a new friend - the cat Horlik. Now they are friends.
The new owners of Potato made him an Instagram page. The charming cat immediately acquired loyal fans. They write to him from different parts of the world - for example, yesterday he received greetings from Brazil.
And the cat was also written by a new friend from the Netherlands - the same earless. Her internet nickname is mevrouw_t (in Dutch - "Lady T") and she lives under the motto "No ears - no problem" - at least that's what her account says. The beauty is already in old age, she has asthma, heart disease, lameness and a bunch of other serious health problems.
Compared to Lady Tee, Potato is not so bad. Its owners even wrote on Instagram that the cat can still hear.
“Potato was a homeless cat, so no one knows when he was born and how old he is,” the new owners explain. “We're guessing he's about six.
Since the owners took the cat from the shelter on April 25, it is on this date that they now celebrate his birthday.
Today cats not only delight their owners with purring and fun, but also work. We know for sure in which museums you can see cat employees.

The golden age of the history of the Netherlands gave the world many talented painters.

How deserved was this fame and why does the work of the "little Dutchman" from Leiden meet with contradictory responses?
