Meet Princess P, The One-Eyed, Snaggletoothed Kitty Who Proves True Beauty Comes From the Heart
Most people might scroll past this cat or even call her the “ugliest” they’ve ever seen. But not me.
When I first met Princess P, this one-eyed, snaggletoothed little feline, I saw something truly special. What about you? Would you stop and admire her unique beauty?
Princess P’s story is a beautiful reminder that real beauty isn’t about appearances, it’s about heart.
It all began when a stray cat showed up at the doorstep of a kind couple’s home. Feeling sympathy for the cat, they decided to take her in and named her Plop. Little did they know, Plop had a surprise in store for them.
“A few weeks later, I realized that she was pregnant,” said Alex.
Plop reminded me of my own cat, Freddie, who basically adopted me by following me home. But unlike Freddie, Plop had a whole litter of kittens on the way.
When Plop gave birth, the couple noticed something different about one of the kittens. This tiny little one struggled to feed from her mom like the others. So, Alex took on the role of bottle-feeding her until she was ready to eat wet food on her own.
“I realized quickly that she was different when she wasn’t able to feed from her mom like the others so I bottle-fed her until she was old enough to eat wet food,” said Alex.
They named her Peanut, affectionately known as Princess P, and decided to keep her close.
As Peanut grew, it became clear she was born with several physical challenges. She had only one eye, was missing part of her nose, and had some facial defects on one side of her body.
“She had defects on specifically one side of her body with the eye and nose. Luckily she is purrfectly healthy otherwise,” Alex continued.
Then came the snaggletooth, which only added to her one-of-a-kind charm. Rather than hiding these differences, Princess P embraced them and showed everyone that beauty truly comes from within.
Princess P isn’t just unique in appearance, she has a personality that shines. Every night around dinner, she perches on Alex’s shoulders to watch him cook and snag a treat or two.
“She sits on her human dad’s shoulders every night around dinner time to watch me cook and get some treats. She is truly my best friend,” Alex added.
Though she’s smaller than the other cats at around 4 pounds, Princess P’s heart is enormous. She lives happily with Alex, her mom Plop, and her newest sister Phoebe, thriving in a loving home.
Their story is a beautiful testament to love, patience, and acceptance. Princess P teaches us that everyone deserves kindness, no matter what they look like. As Alex concluded:
“A little compassion goes a long way because by giving P a chance I gained one of the biggest blessings in my life today.”
Some people might say it’s not worth the effort to care for a cat with special needs. But every cat, no matter how different, deserves love and attention. And if you give them that chance, they’ll reward you with a lifetime of love.
Would you stop and see the beauty in Princess P?
