Meet Kevin, a four-year-old Prussian Blue cat whose distinctive features make him look permanently surprised.
The reason for Kevin’s distinctive look is hydrocephalus . Hydrocephalus essentially means “fluid (液体)on the brain,” and Taliah told London’s Daily Telegraph & Mashable that Kevin’s sight, hearing, balance, coordination and reflexes are all impaired. Kevin is not fully blind or deaf, but his face gives the appearance that he is always surprised.
Tailah, a veterinary (兽医的)nurse, first met Kevin when he was a very small kitten: “A lovely lady found him in a carpark when he was around 4 weeks old and left him to the clinic,” she said. “I fell in love with him straight away and knew I had to give him a chance.”
“I was warned that he wouldn’t live to see six months(if he was lucky) and to not become attached. I told myself that even if he passed away, I gave him all the loving I could.”
Kevin survived. He’s never had a seizure—one of the biggest risks for cats with hydrocephalus.
Tailah has even provided him with his own “personal balcony”, fitted with cat grass, a “house” and an endless supply of toys.
Taliah says of Kevin, “He has the best little personality.”
“He is guaranteed to make you laugh every day,” she said. “His day-to-day activities consist of sitting in the pot plants in the garden, sleeping with his face in shoes and biting people’s feet.”
“He is such a little love bug and a scratch between the ears is his favorite,” she said.
