i have a lil orange lad with half missing ears too, and when i saw him in the shelter he smiled just like klaus!! i think the ears are precious and make our little guys look unique :)
Thats the thing thou.
This cat is obviously a reincarnation of Odin, and he sacrificed one eye at the well of Mimir, below the roots of Yggdrasil, to have more wisdom than what is one brain cell can give.
I’d love if they gave him a little eyepatch to match the look, he’d be like those sailors who sit at the back of the taverns with wares if you have the coin.
Oh I have something for you. “The Cat Came Back” -The Muppet Show. [https://youtu.be/ltlPINPn8UU](https://youtu.be/ltlPINPn8UU) Featuring an eye patch cat. Good stuff, even by Muppet standards.
Can confirm. Had an orange Maine coon mix that was stunning to look at, but he had absolutely nothing behind the eyes. Between former roomies and my own over many years, I’ve lived with 11 total cats. Greg was the only ginger, and the only one in the bunch with a just one brain cell, and I’m not even sure that one worked properly. He was a good boy, tho, and even at 10 years old, was a great big brother to my human child when he was born. F.
Must be the exception. I've had 3 orange cats in my life so far and they all had/have great personalities and were/are wonderful kitties, but my God were/are they dumb.
One orange kitty I had years ago decided to follow me down the street one day while I was going to get something from the corner store. He made it 3 houses away then stopped and meowed at me. I came back via the back alley and didn't think much of it. Later that night it's time for bed and he's nowhere to be found. I check the front and back doors, he's not there. I get a flashlight out and where do I find him? In that same yard and as soon as he sees me walking up to him with a flashlight he runs at me crying.
Heartbreakingly cute, yes? Now bear in mind **he could see the front door of our house and me calling for him** from where he was 'lost' in the yard three doors down.
One of my orange cats was under the house. He could see me looking in at him and calling him but still couldn't figure out how to get out until the next day
My orange girl is also incredibly smart. I have taught her to do tricks, like "sit," spin in a circle, get up or down...she's incredibly intelligent!
ETA: She can also open some doors on her own and once brought me a dead rabbit. She's 17 now, but still pretty spicy.
Klaus the Kat had many a story to tell. But it was a rare occasion such as this that he did...
\*brrrrrrrrrrrrrrmmmmm BA DA di DA-DA DA DUM derm durm\*
>*’What a badass mini tiger you have*’
_____
i dreamt i was a Tiger, in the forest i would roam ^;}
(i never thought a human friend would bring me to their home…)
so Big n BRAVE n *Beautiful* in all my tiger dreams
but then i’d wake
n i’d be sad,
impossible, it seems…
for who would want a Kitten, not as beautiful as most ?
no one wants one DaMaGeD,
not about *Me* would they boast….
but now you’ve made my dreams come true -
you *Love me* as i Am!
now i’m a Happy Tiger
cuz i have
the Purrfect
Fam!
❤️
(*please tell Klaus i Love him,* u/RoopeyScoobie)
Such an interesting kitty! The injuries look like when a main protagonist gets injured but still looks Gorgeous. Definitely a r/piratekitties
Such a cute little thing! I want to be friends with klaus
Glad to hear this. Was wondering if these injuries were due to a fight or health issues.
Better its health issues. He will be happy to have a safe home rather than being aggressive or weary to other animals.
Congrats on your new housemate!
I live in North Dakota and it still blows my mind how many people let their cats out! I know the cats know where home is and can get warm quick, but damn it get cold out here lol.
Oh man, that just breaks my heart. It only gets down to 12C where I live and I can hear the neighborhood cats meowing all night, looking for warmth. I can't imagine how it's like in parts of the world where it snows frequently.
Ears look like frostbite, and they can lose their tails to that too. I'd assume he was a stray who was found that way, and with the eye either injured or infected beyond saving.
Wow everyone, this really took off. 🥺 Thank you all for loving him.
Here’s a video of him playing with a scratch post for the first time: https://imgur.com/a/doPuKbv
This post needs to be stickied.
Also why is everyone now using the pleading face emoji? it’s always been my weak spot for some reason, has been used by my gf to extract favors from me. I won’t have it anymore.
Hello you sweet little dreamcicle you. Enjoy your new forever home and your very special human 
He's ginger. So the likelyhood of him being a happy little goofball is extremely high. I mean you have no idea how normalised orange cats are with having dumb dumb, happy go lucky personalities is.
It's pretty much a trope of life at this point
It's very nice to see people able to see beyond the cat's looks. This poor lad sure had it rough at life and knowing that you are here to give him the love he deserves is heart warming.
We don’t have the whole story about why he lost his eye (if it was caused by infection or injury) but when he showed up to the shelter it was in such bad condition it absolutely needed to be removed. His ears and tail were due to frostbite.
The info we have is that he was found frozen and with a bad eye on rural farm property. A kind human brought him to the shelter, they operated on him (amputation of ears and tail), eye removal, neutered and vaccinated him and put him up for adoption but they were worried potential adopters wouldn’t be able to see past his “looks”. My physiotherapist knows we’re big cat people she told me about him. I loved him when I saw his pictures, went to meet him yesterday, and brought him home this morning.
That poor baby! Im so happy someone found him. So many saved him in different ways. The individual who saved him from the cold. The vets for operating on him instead of putting him down. And you for giving him a forever home. Give this child all the hugs and kisses from a fellow redditor.
So great you opened your heart and brought Klaus into your life. So many people must of passed over him. I bet he becomes the ultimate companion. Super duper job hooman
Congratulations on the adoption of Klaus! We're so happy for you! Be sure to give him lots of love and care and make sure to visit the vet regularly to ensure he is healthy and happy.
Here you are, kind human:

r/piratekitties
Thanks for a new cat sub I didn't know about!
r/ntbdbiwdftc I just learned this one existed
Thank you!!
I'm at the point where I only join cat subs mentioned in comments. Half the subs I'm in are cat related lol.
My iPhone thinks I’m a cat. When I search “selfies” in photos, 98% of the pics are of cats.
r/thefinalcatsubreddit
So many cat subs, there’s a sub about there being so many cat subs 
Yet his smile still shines through, what a trooper! Pass along some forehead scritches and a nose boop!
i have a lil orange lad with half missing ears too, and when i saw him in the shelter he smiled just like klaus!! i think the ears are precious and make our little guys look unique :)
He belongs on /r/PiratePets!
There’s a r/piratecats and r/piratekitties too
His smile is so pure, please give him a lot of head scritches for us
One eyeball to pair with his one brain cell 🥹 it’s a beautiful thing
Thats the thing thou. This cat is obviously a reincarnation of Odin, and he sacrificed one eye at the well of Mimir, below the roots of Yggdrasil, to have more wisdom than what is one brain cell can give.
OP, you didn't happen to see a pair of wolves around lately, have you? Or a couple of ravens?
r/norse OP could get a matching cat and pull Freya’s chariot!
I’d love if they gave him a little eyepatch to match the look, he’d be like those sailors who sit at the back of the taverns with wares if you have the coin.

The part of the prose edda nobody ever reads
lmfao well said sir 🫡
Why would you say he has one brain cell lol Edit : thanks for all the explanations, had no idea about this trend !
Orange cats tend to be goofy, and there is a sub called r/OneOrangeBraincell/ which shows their cuteness
Need to post this for relevant AITA https://www.reddit.com/r/AmItheAsshole/comments/rfwgmc/aita_for_perpetuating_ethnic_stereotypes_about/
Always a classic. The update puts my sides into orbit every time.
Pam actually buttered Jorts and Jean had to suffer for it. What a shame.
JORTS!! I died reading his story when it came out and I follow him on Twitter. He's the best thing on there!
A lot of cats share a common trait with other cats of their color. Orange cats are known to not be super smart. Hence r/oneorangebraincell
Can confirm. Had an orange Maine coon mix that was stunning to look at, but he had absolutely nothing behind the eyes. Between former roomies and my own over many years, I’ve lived with 11 total cats. Greg was the only ginger, and the only one in the bunch with a just one brain cell, and I’m not even sure that one worked properly. He was a good boy, tho, and even at 10 years old, was a great big brother to my human child when he was born. F.
r/oneorangebraincell
Why do you say one brain cell? I know that's a sub but why? I have an orange kitty and he is the smartest of boys.
Must be the exception. I've had 3 orange cats in my life so far and they all had/have great personalities and were/are wonderful kitties, but my God were/are they dumb. One orange kitty I had years ago decided to follow me down the street one day while I was going to get something from the corner store. He made it 3 houses away then stopped and meowed at me.

Tell him to quit hogging the brain cell, the other orange cats would like a turn
My orange girl is also incredibly smart. I have taught her to do tricks, like "sit," spin in a circle, get up or down...she's incredibly intelligent! ETA: She can also open some doors on her own and once brought me a dead rabbit. She's 17 now, but still pretty spicy.
Same, my orange boy plays fetch like a dog - seems super smart to me.
This dude is straight chillin! Looks like an awesome cat 🙌
He's beautiful
He's made of love
Which is why I love him
[удалено]
Klaus the Kat had many a story to tell. But it was a rare occasion such as this that he did... \*brrrrrrrrrrrrrrmmmmm BA DA di DA-DA DA DUM derm durm\*
Say baby
\*blamblam\* Say BaBAAAAY!
We had a cat in almost the exact same condition. We called him our "battle cat". With some TLC he healthily made it to about 17-years-old.
He looks like a much loved stuffed animal that a little kid brought everywhere for the first five years of his life.
Aww, that's so sweet! (and true). I love this.
Wow, I had the exact same thought. Very velveteen rabbit
My thoughts exactly.
What a badass mini tiger you have 💕

A funky fresh schnoods, just what I needed on an otherwise shit day. :)
You're the best Schnooodz! A poem about this bad ass dude! A cat's big smile, a mile wide! Your beautiful poems warm me up inside! ❤️
Love this, love you!
Awwwww, my heart! 💔
Sniffle. Sad/happy upvote.
I was having a good night but then I saw a fresh Schnoods and it’s that much better! ❤️
Yay Schnoodle! Always catching me cutting onions

I wouldn’t mess with anyone named klaus.
Klaus is coming to town,
Depends. Has he been drinking?
If he's anything like [this guy](https://youtu.be/ChOHnSL7ZCg), run the other way :)
Totally agree... that's one badass mini toger
What happened to Klaus?
We’re not exactly sure what happened with the eye (if it was injury or infection) but his ears and tail were due to frostbite. 😔
Either way he must have had some determination to live after suffering all that. Cute cat.
Kindly get him a heated bed! He deserves to never be cold again...
Fucking hate this thread. Comments are making my eyes itchy and stuff.
Best comment!!!
Thank you for adopting this loving and gorgeous special kitty!🧡
Yes thank you OP!
Such an interesting kitty! The injuries look like when a main protagonist gets injured but still looks Gorgeous. Definitely a r/piratekitties Such a cute little thing! I want to be friends with klaus
I’m so glad you brought him home.
Glad to hear this. Was wondering if these injuries were due to a fight or health issues. Better its health issues. He will be happy to have a safe home rather than being aggressive or weary to other animals. Congrats on your new housemate!
I was afraid he was tortured 😔. So I’m glad that wasn’t the case!!!
Aww what a cute and happy looking buddy. We have an orange boy who lost the very tips of his ears that way so they just look a little rounded.
I'm dad to an amputee Ginger myself. No need to worry about his past just make sure that he's never cold again. He's got a lot of love to give
I live in North Dakota and it still blows my mind how many people let their cats out! I know the cats know where home is and can get warm quick, but damn it get cold out here lol.
To a life of never being cold again!
Poor baby, thank you for adopting each other 💕
Oh man, that just breaks my heart. It only gets down to 12C where I live and I can hear the neighborhood cats meowing all night, looking for warmth. I can't imagine how it's like in parts of the world where it snows frequently.
Damn you really gave him a happy ever after
Oh no that makes me so sad. I'm so glad you have him now
Now he’s going to be nice and warm in your home
Ears look like frostbite, and they can lose their tails to that too. I'd assume he was a stray who was found that way, and with the eye either injured or infected beyond saving.
What a cute little potato! Sending head scratches and all the love ❤️
i just saw that cat with no ears at all on facebook, and they named him potato too haha that perfectly round little head 🥔 so adorable
He was all eyes
Klaus looks like a sweetie.
Wow everyone, this really took off. 🥺 Thank you all for loving him. Here’s a video of him playing with a scratch post for the first time: https://imgur.com/a/doPuKbv
He is such a goofy cutie bug‼ and he looks so soft!
😭😭😭 what a precious baby! his wide round eye, his peanuts, I'm in love!
This post needs to be stickied. Also why is everyone now using the pleading face emoji? it’s always been my weak spot for some reason, has been used by my gf to extract favors from me. I won’t have it anymore.
What a handsome playful boy!
Lucky boy. Lucky you.
I would literally die for Klaus, no joke.
r/ntbdbiwdfta
Agreed! Angel wing 🥰 Edit: Please post more photos of Klaus
He is perfection! May you have a long happy life together.
I cast Kiss on Klaus, and I get a critical success! You have to shower him in kisses and hugs now, sorry I don’t make the rules.
He's so perfect! What a cutie
Very handsome!! Thank you for giving him a furever home! 🙂
He looks like such a teddy bear! You couldn't have adopted him sooner
Exactly like a much loved teddy bear that’s lost one of its button eyes 😭
This boy has a wonderful home, new life. Bless you for being a great human!
Very handsome man! Glad he has a loving home and owners
Bless you.
Wonder if his r/oneorangebraincell also survived his ordeal.
I’ll need to gather more data and report back in a few weeks.
That smile. That damn smile.
Sweetheart
He's an eye-catcher. And outstanding.
What he lacks in one eyeball he makes up for with all that soul in the other, bless you and him thoroughly!
Hello you sweet little dreamcicle you. Enjoy your new forever home and your very special human 
Such an adorable baby 🐱
So cute, absolutely nothing wrong with him.
He looks like a haggard and scared anime character, that's secretly a nice guy. I bet he is super kind.
He's ginger. So the likelyhood of him being a happy little goofball is extremely high. I mean you have no idea how normalised orange cats are with having dumb dumb, happy go lucky personalities is. It's pretty much a trope of life at this point
Beautiful kitty cat.
Aww, he has so much love to give you.
He looks like a toy!
Love this cat, the kind I would adopt also 💯🤟
Little man has been through some stuff. Glad he has a good home now. I suspect Klaus is very grateful.
It's very nice to see people able to see beyond the cat's looks. This poor lad sure had it rough at life and knowing that you are here to give him the love he deserves is heart warming.
So cute. You are really lucky to have him.
If strength and resilience was a living being it would be baby Klaus over here
Klaus is cute and I hate to ask out of disrespect, but what happened to him?
We don’t have the whole story about why he lost his eye (if it was caused by infection or injury) but when he showed up to the shelter it was in such bad condition it absolutely needed to be removed. His ears and tail were due to frostbite.
I felt sad reading but he's happy and healthy now so emotional crisis averted!
He looks like a much loved child’s stuffed animal—-so, so sweet!!!
Is there a backstory to him? Such a kind looking soul
The info we have is that he was found frozen and with a bad eye on rural farm property. A kind human brought him to the shelter, they operated on him (amputation of ears and tail), eye removal, neutered and vaccinated him and put him up for adoption but they were worried potential adopters wouldn’t be able to see past his “looks”.

Bless him he’s adorable
He's living the good life now you rock.
What a little gentleman! So handsome!
Klaus is ginger snickerdoodle of delightful mess! So glad he’s got a loving furever home
Thank you for giving this sweet baby a furever home!
He's adorable!
So happy for Klaus and for you!
Awww thank you
He has an abundance of character
Tell Klaus that I love him
He is perfect!
So great you opened your heart and brought Klaus into your life. So many people must of passed over him. I bet he becomes the ultimate companion. Super duper job hooman
Post more photos, lots more!
Tell him I said ps ps ps
Poor ol' Klaus has seen some shit. Give him all the loves and scritches and "what a pretty boy"s you can.
He definately is one beautiful boy!! Very handsome lad indeed! 🥰🥰
He's gorgeous!
D’awwwww what a cutie!
Congratulations on the adoption of Klaus! We're so happy for you! Be sure to give him lots of love and care and make sure to visit the vet regularly to ensure he is healthy and happy.
Dress him like a pirate.
I thought he was a plushie at first glance!
have to ask, fire or frostbite? ive seen those kinds of injuries before, cats are the strongest little things <3
Frostbite! We live in Canada so he was a stray who endured a lot of -40 days.
Can I ask how he got those injuries?
We don’t know for sure what happened to his eye, it was either injury or infection, but his tail and ears were lost to frostbite.
You are superheroes! Also, why is this marked not safe for work?
Oh I have no idea, maybe someone found it “upsetting”? Weird.
Jeez, Klaus, I know you have 9 lives, but that doesn't mean you have to rush through them! Take care of that little guy!
He is such a handsome kitty, OP do you think you can post more photos about him?
Here you are, kind human: https://preview.redd.it/fbl59gpdgxda1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=84a16b7edefbb95378823ba1b7d60c35bf3c52f8
Couldnt be more perfect... 😍😍
He’s perfect!! 😍😍😍
Handsome boy!!

Aww he looks like a well loved stuffed animal
What a purrfect handsome baby indeed!
klaus is a very fitting name lol, idk why but it just sounds perfect for him. kitty is adorable too, little guy looks like a war hero 🫡
❤️
He is just permanently winking at everyone he meets!
Where was Klaus picked up if you don't mind me asking? The weather must be pretty bad for him to get frostbite that severe.
Looks like that old childhood teddy you find in the cupboard after years of not seeing it. Missing eye, bit scuffed up but makes you smile
He looks like a teddy bear that's been kept for a lifetime.
He's so perfect! He looks like a well-loved stuffed kitty! ❤️😻
Such a handsome man!
