Stuart Green’s neighbor got into a fight and lost his eye. That’s where this story begins—and where any other owner would have gone looking for a vet with a face like they’d just come from a funeral.
But this owner chose a different route: sticking on a plastic craft eye, one of those that wobble around and look in every direction.
According to Stuart, the goal was to give the animal’s confidence a little boost. A pirate patch would have been the dignified option. This is something else.
He uploaded the photos to twitter (x), and the internet did what it does best. When someone asked how the cat’s self-esteem was doing, Stuart replied that he was back to dating, so his confidence was through the roof.
A one-eyed cat, with a fierce toy stare and a busier social calendar than yours.
Would you have given him the fake eye, or gone with the patch?
