Recently, a kitten in Copenhagen, Denmark, became popular on the Internet. When the cat was born, it had a pair of extremely large eyes. It looked like it was frightened. However, because of the large eyes, the cat could not close its eyes while sleeping.

    Herman is now 5 months old. When he blinks, he does not completely close his eyes like other animals. Herman currently lives in Copenhagen with his owner Shirley. The way the owner can judge whether it is asleep is to listen to whether it snores.

    The owner Shirley said: "When he was born, he was obviously smaller than his peers and looked very strange. At that time, I decided to let him spend quality time with me." Herman was too thin when he was a child. In order to ensure his healthy growth, the owner fed him little by little with his hands.

This does not prevent it from becoming an Internet celebrity on social networking sites. Fans who pursue it give it the nickname "Sweet Cookie". The owner said that it likes shoes very much. Once it got into the owner's shoes and got its head stuck, and it still ran around with its owner's shoes on its head. Most cats with overly large eyes are diagnosed with "congenital lens luxation", which is characterized by blurred vision and bulging of the eyeballs.
