Meet Moet, the blind cat, who has become an internet sensation. Videos of the eight-year-old feline has gone viral on social media.
A blind cat who was once left to die at a pet shop has now turned into an internet sensation. Meet Moet, a blind eight-year-old Persian cat, who was adopted by Emily Shotter from Nottingham in 2015. Moet has both Instagram and TikTok accounts dedicated to her. She has found fame worldwide, thanks to her zest for life and her squeaky meows.
The feline was rescued by a charity before Emily Shotter adopted her. Her eyes had to be removed after living on the streets of Oman without food, water and a safe place to sleep, which led to the deterioration of her vision.
However, Moet is now an internet sensation and her videos on social media have been viewed by millions of people. See some of the videos shared by Emily which have garnered thousands of views. Moet has 82,000 followers on Instagram.
One of the videos features Moet squeaking in the middle of the night trying to wake her owner up for some food.
The internet is in awe of these adorable videos. The comments section is replete with words like “sweet”, “adorable” and “cutie”.

“I was very hesitant at first, but they persuaded me to ‘just come and see her’. It surprised me how confidently she was walking around the room at the vets. I had no idea what to expect from a blind cat but thought they’d be unable to navigate their surroundings and be withdrawn and subdued. How wrong I was! When I went over to her she purred like crazy and when I stroked her, she rolled over for belly-rubs. I was sold,” Emily told Daily Mail.
“Moet is a very sweet girl but I guess because she can’t see, she gets bored easily, so lots of playing and environmental enrichment is important,” she added.
