Meet Gimo, The Cat With The Biggest Eyes Ever

Prepare to have your heart melted. Remember a Scottish fold cat called Gimo that we shared a few days ago? Of course, you do! He’s impossible to forget once you’ve seen him. And if you haven’t yet been acquainted with this impossibly cute cat then take a look at the pictures below to see what all the fuzz (sorry) is about.

Marc De Rijcke from Kasterlee (Antwerp) breeds Scottish folds and is incandescent about the decision taken by Flemish animal welfare minister Ben Weyts (Flemish nationalist): "I've been breeding Scottish folds here for three decades and in all this time only three or four pussies have developed minor problems in the tail. The gene is a natural mutation. Scottish folds can live to up to 16 years without developing any problems. Once upon a time two kittens with folded ears were born in Scotland. One survived and it was the start of the breed. You should always mate a Scottish fold with a British shorthair. Then the gene isn't effective. Not all kittens will be Scottish folds. Only after three weeks will some kittens develop folded ears. All are born with straight ears."
