Adorable Special Needs Cat Looks Like A Bunny And We're In Love
Peanut did not look like most cats when he arrived at the rescue shelter, and that was exactly what made him unforgettable. He and nine other cats were taken in after their owner sadly passed away, leaving the staff to figure out what came next for a very unusual little group.
Peanut is deaf, partially blind, and has a face that makes him look almost like a bunny. The shelter did not know why he looked the way he did, but they did know one thing right away, he was impossible not to love.
Then Sydney Benham saw him in September 2020, and Peanut’s whole story changed.
Peanut's estimated age was around 8 years at the time, and it didn't take him long to settle into his forever home with Sydney.
"It’s hard to describe his personality," Sydney said. "He is so unique and simply, 'him.'"
"He is loving and kind, and he loves to play with fingers and chew on his toes. I feel he is a lot smarter than he lets on and purposely ignores me or does things that he knows will irritate me, like jumping on my table, for example."
Peanut might be a little different, but that's what makes him so special. "His disabilities do not stop him in any way! He is limitless!" Sydney said.
Peanut settled in faster than anyone could have hoped.
"People usually fall in love with him right away when they see him," she said.
"How could they not?! He’s such a sweet boy."
His looks may be unusual, but his charm is doing all the work.
Speaking of uncanny looks, meet Badger, the LA kitten who resembles Ed Sheeran after a heavy downpour.
It's impossible to know exactly how difficult life has been for Peanut and what has made him the way he is.
But one thing's for sure: Sydney wouldn't have Peanut any other way!
Peanut’s bunny-like face has made him unforgettable.
