A recently adopted cat named Rook has become an Internet sensation thanks to his incredibly large cheeks. His new owner shared photos of the furry feline on Reddit, where users raved about his unique appearance.
The woman said that the animal initially hid for several days before getting used to its new home, but now feels like the owner of the apartment. According to shelter staff, the cat is about five years old and has already been neutered.
Curious about the reason for such expressive cheeks, the owner turned to veterinarians. Experts explained that in unneutered cats, large cheeks appear due to high testosterone levels. Since Ruka has already been neutered, his cheeks will shrink over time.
The post about the cat quickly went viral, with users gushing over his adorable appearance. Some even compared the furry creature to golf balls because of his impressively round cheeks.
