Meet Rexie, The Handicapped Cat Who Steals People’s Hearts With The Cutest Bleps And Mlems (30 Pics)
Interview With OwnerRexie isn’t just any cat—he’s a little guy with a big personality. Even though his back legs don’t work, that doesn’t slow him down one bit. He runs, plays, and lives life just like any other cat. But what really makes Rexie special is his face—he has the most expressive looks you’ve ever seen. From excitement to pure sass, his emotions are written all over him.
His owner, Dasha, rescued him after a rough start in life, and now they’re inseparable. Rexie doesn’t let anything hold him back, and his unique expressions make him a true "living emoji." Whether he’s grinning, pouting, or giving the most dramatic side-eye, he’s a cat who knows how to work the camera.

Rexie does like showing off his well-cared-for teefies, doesn't he? XD
And I thought my old gray girl Wintressia was photogenic. She had nothin' on Rexie!
"Mother, do not look under the left-hand pillow. You will not be happy with what you find. However, if you do feel the need to check under the pillow, do so promptly, while my 'gift' is still warm and before it soaks into the mattress."
Guys, I'm trying REALLY hard not to reference a certain meme-y song from the early 2000s that was on SNL... XD
I feel so bad for this kitty but I am so glad he found such a loving person to take care of him.
Every time I've seen a video of someone's kitty who has paralyzed hind legs, they're tearing heck around the house, either running on their forelegs with their hindquarters lifted up or sort of scooting and dragging their back legs. They can even climb cat trees and jump to a certain extent! Owners just have to make sure they keep an eye on their belly/legs and genital area so the kitty doesn't injure/scrape it too much when they drag themselves around. I know you've probably seen me talk about Stilgar often too - he's not paralyzed but he has mobility issues and the whole full-body constant, uncontrollable muscle twitching thing. But the animals truly have no idea there's anything "wrong" with them and are never sad themselves - it's how they've always been! But - of course, our hearts always do hurt for them, for we have empathy :)
