Truffles The Cat Helps Kids Feel Comfortable With Fearing Glasses When They Go To Optometrist

134

ADVERTISEMENT

Cats are beautiful, and probably no one could argue that they’re not. However, it’s somewhat harder to see how glasses are beautiful. But there’s a cat out there whose sole mission is to prove otherwise… by wearing them herself. And by doing so, she helps children to acquire purrfect vision.

The cat’s name is Truffles, and she was rescued by master optician Danielle Crull and her family in 2016. After getting adopted, Truffles quickly proved that she’s not only a sweetheart, but also has a sharp mind, as she learned to sit and high five with the help of treats. As Crull is a master optician that owns a glasses dispensary for children, she thought she could use Truffles’ smarts for a good cause, and taught the black-and-white cat to wear glasses. And thus, a new hero came into focus.

Danielle started bringing Truffles to her “A Child’s Eyes” dispensary in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. Crull’s clients can be as young as 4 months old, though they average to about 2-5 years old. As most of us know, cats are very purrsuasive, so it takes little to no time before children see Truffles in glasses and think “Glasses are cool!”

    I am a Brazilian digital artist who loves transforming imagination into hyper-real visuals. I work with artificial intelligence and image editing to create what I always wondered as a child: how would our favorite characters look in real life? Over time, many of my artworks have gone viral and were featured in international publications. I have recreated realistic versions of cartoon characters such as Disney and The Simpsons, imagined how celebrities who died young would look today, and even gave modern faces to historical figures like Mona Lisa or Shakespeare. Beyond entertainment, I created Para Não Esquecer, a social project that revisits memorable criminal cases in Brazil. My goal is to honor victims, keep memory alive and remind society that justice and empathy matter. I also write for Bored Panda, where I create articles featuring artists, photographers, rescue stories and feel-good moments from around the world. My work aims to highlight creativity, kindness and emotional storytelling. In everything I do, my purpose is the same: to touch hearts, evoke emotion and make people feel something real.
