It’s a sad fact that some people can be wary of animals that don’t look how they expect them to.
Ace the cat had a tough start in life; as a kitten he found himself homeless and having to fend for himself on the street.
Thankfully, he was rescued and then adopted by a loving family, but an infection meant he lost an eye.
His owners say his unusual appearance does mean some kids are frightened of him and a home security camera was installed to keep tabs on the furry feline.
What the camera did capture was a boy who visited Ace every day and what he did was thankfully caught on camera.
Ace’s owner Norma Maikovich says that the little cat is misunderstood by some of the people he encounters.
“He can sometimes seem scary, especially to children,” Norma Maikovich, Ace’s owner, told The Dodo. “People are often hesitant to greet him.”
