La plupart du temps, quand on suit un animal sur les réseaux sociaux, c’est parce qu’il est adorable et nous fait oublier notre misérable quotidien.

Mais il y a des exceptions, comme Jasper (@jazzy.purrs), un chat sphynx sans yeux qui, visiblement, n’a rien pour lui.

Pourtant, le félin est suivi par des milliers d’abonnés sur Instagram et ses admirateurs se font de plus en plus nombreux.

Mama, what do you mean this isn’t MY dinner? ————————————————————————Shop link in the bio! For those who don’t know Jazzy’s story, he was adopted at 2 years old seemingly healthy. After a couple of years he was diagnosed with FHV (feline herpes virus), but at the time all that meant was he was a sniffly boy. Then in November 2013 he got a corneal ulcer in his right eye. It was so bad that removal was the only option. He went on being a happy, healthy, now one eyed kitty. Until September 2018 when he ended up with a corneal ulcer in his remaining eye. Again so bad that removal was the only option. As scary as the news was that Jasper would now be totally blind, he adapted super well. Finally in April 2019 he had a mild stroke. It was a terrifying experience trying to figure out what was going on, why he woke me up spinning in circles, but the diagnoses was a relief. The cause is unknown, which is unfortunately common, but it means it wasn’t caused by any of the awful things that we know can cause one. Since then he’s recovered almost 100%, he walks a bit more cautiously and occasionally is unsure of where is is and will meow for help, but otherwise he’s perfect. He’s a very happy kitty, who is otherwise extremely healthy. He’s 12 years old, but the vet says there’s no reason to think he won’t live another 10 years. #jazzypurr #blindcat #sphynx #sphynxcat #nakedkitty #sphynxlair #catsofinstagram #catstagram #instacat #cat #kitty #animals #sphynxofinstagram #sphynxstagram #thedailynude #sphynxoftheday #hairlesscat #catsdaily #oddkitty #thedodo

Son histoire est incroyable.

Après quelques années de vie, Jasper s’est fait diagnostiquer le coryza du chat. Selon son maître, cela n’avait pas vraiment d’impact sur lui, à part qu’il reniflait beaucoup.

Cependant, en 2013, le chat âgé de 12 ans a eu un ulcère cornéen dans l’œil droit. Il a dû se le faire retirer. En 2018, il a souffert de la même chose, mais dans l’œil qui lui restait.
