But there’s more to Rexie’s story than just his adorable expressions.
Despite being handicapped — his hind legs are non-functional — he leads a life full of joy, thanks to the unwavering love and care of his owner.

Rexie’s owner is a passionate advocate for disabled pets, challenging the notion that a physically restricted cat can’t have a fulfilling life.
"People tend to think that a cat with some physical restriction is not worth living because that's not what a 'normal' cat life looks like," she said. "But who defines what 'normal' is? Every living being wants to live and deserves a chance to live if it's a pain - and - discomfort - free life."

Caring for Rexie does require extra effort, but his owner insists it’s manageable.
"Yes, they do require some extra care on a daily basis, but it doesn't take more than 20 minutes a day," she explained.
