STRAY CAT TAKES AFTER 'THE DONALD'
Kara Kuh of the Willamette Humane Society in Salem, Ore., shows off a cat recently brought in as a stray. The cat, dubbed "The Donald" by WHS staff in honor of the hairstyle worn by billionaire Donald Trump, has an approximately 1-inch-wide by 3-inch-long pouch of fatty tissue growing out of his head. The pouch droops down and completely covers the cat's face. It is possibly an old abscess and WHS staff say they have never seen anything like it.

I don't understand how he could see! Didn't he bump into things constantly?

I like how in the article they say that he had to fling around the lump when he was trying eat. Awww.

i had a friend who did that, because he had stupid scene hair. we called it the "emo hair-twitch" because he was constantly twitching to get the hair out of his eyes.

Oh man, I think that's only cute if it's a who's cat doing it. Or maybe a human that had a big fatty growth on their forehead, 'cause that would be kind of sad/endearing.

Remember the winged cat?

Were those lumps too? Or just matted fur?

That post is incredible! I love the Somerset Winged Cat the best.

claimed her pet’s wings were the result of stress from too many females desiring to mate with him
Aww, he was tryin' to fly away from all the ladies. Aren't calico kitties exclusively female though? Unless they have some sort of fancy XXY genetic mutation? He is a double mutant!
