Potato the Cat

[Cats]

Let's talk about Potato.

Potato looks like a vintage taxidermy.

A very friendly and cooperative boy, though. I hope he's just a weird-looking kitty, nothing pathological.

I would like to pet Potato on the head.

Well, it is technically a pathology, but likely one that isn't actively causing her any major medical problems. She has a minor version of microcephaly. Her head is slightly small. Fortunately for her, it appears to be the most minor type, and she had no apparent neurological deficits from it (from watching a video of her, she appears to function just like a normal cat). The lack of neurological deficit would indicate that it has no material impact on her function. The only thing it does is make her look unique. No reason to think it will ever be an issue (if it was going to be a problem, it almost certainly would have presented by now). She likely has no idea she is any different, so she is just your typical, happy ginger cat who is well loved by her people.

This is nice to hear. Everyone likes a weird-looking cat, and it's good to know the cat is living its best life.

I couldn't be bothered to pass the regwall on the Instagram, but it looks like Potato is a boy. (Not obsessed with cat gender, but I know orange cats are usually male.)
