The eyes have it: Fedya’s startled expression wins over thousands of fans

An adorable rescued cat is taking the internet by storm thanks to its permanently startled expression.

Natalia Zhdanova, 40, found weak and sickly stray Fedya in her New York backyard when he was just a few days old – his back legs were wonky and his eyes were misaligned.

She nursed the orphaned kitten to health and her neighbour's cat, named Handsome, would come over every day to nurture him. Ms Zhdanova said: "He was very weak and was dying. Handsome cleaned and licked Fedya and became like a father figure to him."
