This adorably spooky hairless cat is named Jasper (jazzy.purrs on Instagram) and the internet seems to be absolutely in love with him. Currently, this internet-famous cat has over 57,000 fans on Instagram and we're not surprised about it at all.

As you've probably already noticed, Jasper doesn't have both of his eyes. And there's a pretty heartbreaking story behind it. Apparently, the kittie was adopted at 2 years old and at the time he was seemingly healthy. Then, in November 2013, Jasper got a corneal ulcer in his right eye, and the only option to save him was to get it removed. After a few years, he ended up with a corneal ulcer in his remaining eye, which also got removed. All in all, the cat has definitely been through a lot, but he turned out to be a super happy kitty who's currently 12 years old.

Bored Panda invites you to take a look at 70 photos capturing the adorable Instagram-famous kitty Jasper.

Cats do fine blind, so there's no need to "feel sad". They can adapt easily to life without sight, and having a blind cat isn't much different than having a sighted cat.

Remember what I heard from the Blind Cat Sanctuary: "Blind cats do not think of themselves as blind. They think of themselves as cats."

While it's reassuring they did what needed to be done (I would have too!) I can't imagine waking up and not being able to see anymore, and not really have comprehension of why.. It makes me sad too. But kitties! Kitties being loved and cared for! I couldn't want more.

I know we're all supposed to say, "awww", but he looks a little creepy with those eyes. Would still nuzzle, but that would take me a few days to get used to, however I think hairless kitties look like old man balls as is.

Looking innocent is a hard-sell with a face like that... but he's trying.
