Herman, the Danish cat looks like a scaredy cat but sometimes looks can be deceiving.
This was the exact expression plastered to my face when I found a spider on the inside of my shower curtain this morning [Youtube]Herman doesn’t actually live in a constant state of panic, he just has some very wonky eyes. Herman was born with a rare genetic disorder that causes the eyes to grow disproportionately huge. It’s not very common among cats, however, when this disorder does occur, it typically requires surgery to correct the problem.
In the case of Herman the horrified house cat, everything is A-okay with his face. Herman didn’t need surgery and is a happy and healthy animal thanks to his Mom keeping a close eye on him.
[Youtube]In fact, she says the only oddity that comes along with Herman’s strange eyesight is the fact that he often sleeps with his eyes open. So how does she know if he’s really sleeping at all? Easy! Mom says Herman is a very loud snorer, which makes it easy for anybody in the neighborhood to know if this little guy is knocked out.
Take a look at Herman’s adorable expression below and please SHARE with friends and family who might get a kick out of this bug-eyed buddy too!
