Introducing Potato, a charming cat who was saved from a difficult life on the streets. After being rescued by Carl Leong and his wife, along with his pal Horlick, this fearless feline had to undergo surgery to remove his ears as he had developed cancerous tumours. Despite his challenging health issues, Potato continues to thrive in the care of his loving foster family. His previous owner had sadly passed away, leaving Potato and other cats to fend for themselves. Today, he enjoys a comfortable life at home, surrounded by love and affection.
Do you see any disparities between the two images? The feline featured in the photograph is afflicted with a medical condition known as ceruminous adenoma, which is characterized by the development of tumors in the ear. If left unattended, it may induce discomfort, deafness, and ringing in the ears. Fortunately, the feline was able to retain its hearing abilities following a three-hour operation to eliminate its ears. However, in November 2019, the tumor resurfaced in a worse condition. After consulting with a veterinarian, it was agreed that removing the ear flaps and canals was the most appropriate course of action to halt any further agony. Even though the tumor was benign, the decision was taken because the cat was in pain, frequently scratching its ears, resulting in external injuries and bleeding. Concurrently, inflammation was observed in its ear canals. The surgery was a success, and the feline, affectionately named Potato, recuperated satisfactorily. Ultimately, the feline was officially adopted after the surgery.
This piece tells the story of Potato, a feline who underwent surgery due to an ear infection. Luckily, he made a full recovery within a fortnight and now resides contentedly in his permanent abode. Potato and his sibling have also made a name for themselves on Instagram through their joint account, @no_ear_meow_potato, which has amassed a following of 17,500 individuals drawn to their charming photos. While Potato’s hearing is not as sharp as it was before, he remains responsive and unaffected by any adverse repercussions. Despite his gruff exterior as a stray, he is actually a loveable cat who relishes playtime and socializing with others.
At first, he was shy, but with time, he became more animated and captivating. Mediadrugimages/CarlLeong/@no_ea states that he possesses a distinct allure that spreads good vibes on Instagram. Essentially, social media should promote happiness and cheerfulness. He and his partner urge people to adopt pets instead of buying them, especially since his breed is the most common stray cat in Hong Kong.
