Four-year-old Fedya, a gray cat rescued from Russia, has develop into a social media sensation due to his funny, always surprised appearance.
When Fedya’s owner, Natalia Zhdanova, found him in her backyard in 2020, she had no concept that sooner or later he would develop into an Instagram star with over 300,000 followers. At that point, she wasn’t even sure if she would survive. He was born with coordination problems and had difficulty moving around, but as he grew older his condition improved and shortly he was acting like a normal cat, regardless that he didn’t really look like one. Natalya claims she didn’t really notice his unusual appearance, but her friends all the time seemed amused by Fedya’s constant surprise, so she reluctantly began posting photos of him on social media. The rest, as they are saying, is history.
