The face is always bewildered, the body is chubby, round like a ball is the common comment of many people when they see a series of photos of a cat named Pitoe (4 years old). Besides many lovely comments, many people expressed concern about Pitoe’s health, fearing that he would become obese due to overeating. However, one of the reasons Pitoe has such a look is the rare scoliosis in cats.
The 4-year-old cat is a British short-haired cat that was adopted by Marie’s family not long ago. “Because Pitoe has quite severe scoliosis, her body is much shorter than normal cats. My parents are veterinarians. One day they discovered that Pitoe was about to be abandoned by a cat seller. fell because of bad looks, so decided to adopt”,
Mr and Mrs. Marie were originally very fond of cats but did not dare to adopt them before because they were afraid they might jump over the balcony and get hurt or disturb the neighbors’ families. “But Pitoe is different, because he has scoliosis, he can’t jump high but can only move around. So my parents gave Pitoe back to his adoptive grandparents. Pitoe was like a gift for him. for my family,” Marie shared.
“Many people worry that Pitoe is obese, but in fact, his body is like that partly due to a crooked spine. We always give him regular health checkups and make sure he eats a healthy diet. What pain,” Marie said.
Different from her always bewildered appearance and heavy round body, Pitoe surprised everyone in Marie’s family when she was very active and cheerful despite having “difficult” days, refusing to eat or knocking over bowls. its own country. Whenever there were guests in the house, Pitoe often approached them, lying down near the feet of the guests waiting to be petted.
