Hairless or Sphynx cats are a very polarizing topic. Not for their personalities, which are pretty normal by kitty standards, but for their appearance.
Personally, I'm mostly on the side that thinks they're kind of ugly, but in a fascinating, spooky sort of way, if that makes sense.
It's definitely true for a certain Sphynx who's making waves on Instagram.
For most kitties, their fur would hide a lot of the missing eye, but not for Jasper.
It's both creepy and sort of fascinating too. I mean, how often do you get such a good look at the shape and size of a feline eye socket?

When his human adopted him at two years old, everything seemed hunky-dory, but he was later diagnosed with Feline Herpes Virus (FHV).
However, in 2013 he developed a corneal ulcer in his right eye and the only option was to have the whole eye removed.
Seriously, he wouldn't look out of place in The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Maybe Zero would like a little kitty friend?
At 12 years old, Jasper is pretty much a normal, if blind, kitty, and his vet says he has many happy years ahead of him.
Jasper is a great example of how you can't judge a book by its mildly creepy cover.
You can follow Jasper on Instagram @jazzy.purrs.
