Startled cat

Natalia Zhdanova, 40, found Fedya as a weak and sickly stray in her backyard when the cat was just a few days old. Zhdanova quickly noticed her new kitten had misaligned eyes —giving him a surprised look — and issues using his back legs.

She nursed the orphaned kitten to health and her neighbor’s cat, named Handsome, came over every day to help nurture the little pet.

“He was very weak and was dying. Handsome cleaned and licked Fedya and became like a father figure to him,” Zhdanova told SWNS.

Gradually, Fedya gained strength and began to grow, but his face remained unchanged. The cause of the cat’s unusual expression is still unclear.

“Now he is much healthier. He is a very sweet, gentle, playful, and intelligent cat. He purrs very loudly,” she added.

Fedya, who was found when he was just one week old, is now a healthy adult at one year and nine months.

“He is inseparable with Handsome,” Zhdanova said of the loyal feline who helped with Fedya’s recovery. “They are the best of friends.”
