Friday Fight Cat: Charley The Cat Who Doesn't Let His Disability Keep Him Down

Normally, there would be a Friday Fight right now, but it's hard to have an IM fight with a person who is on an airplane, and Gabe's furious, violent typing would probably alert an air marshal, so it's really best for everyone if I share a cat. This is a cat named Charley and he has Cerebellar Hypoplasia. If you don't go "awww" when he gets into his little bed, well, stop reading this, ROBOTS:

Awww! Please also appreciate the somber, HBO original documentary/PSA tone of this YouTube video. If you see a cat like Charley, grab it and love it forever!

hahaha when you mentioned Cerebellar Hypoplasia, i thought to myself "ahaha we've finally won her over into interpreting cute things as having physiological impairments"
But no! That cat totally has cerebellar hypoplasia. And what can we possibly say when it's impairment is what makes it cute?

....You win this round.

I have to admit, I went AWWWW without even realising.

Cats freak me out, but I'd totally take this one home. Or any cat with Cerebellar Hypoplasia will suffice.
