Happy Life For Saddest Cat In The World
Despite his sorrowful appearance, this sweet kitty actually lives a pretty blessed life. For starters, he's adored by his human, Maggie Liu, who took him in when he was just a tiny kitten fighting for his life.
“When he was two weeks he went to [the] hospital because his eyes, respiratory system, and reproductive system [were] born with developmental defects," Maggie explains. "My friend didn’t have much time to take care of him, so I have [had] him since 3 weeks [after] the hospital."
The saddest cat in the world also has 2 adoring siblings in the home. All of the cats share the same feline mother but each has a different father.

“I think his brothers know [it] was not easy for him to survive," Maggie says. "They spoil him."
