The cat from Sao Paulo won the hearts of thousands of Internet users. No wonder – his appearance really touches and it is him who owes his nickname of “the saddest cat in the world”.
“The saddest cat in the world” – what does it look like?
Sushi has a rare condition called Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS), which is characterized by excessive laxity in the joints and delicate, hyperelastic skin. And it is the flaccid, sagging skin that gives the cat the sad expression that touched the internet users so much.
In reality, however, Sushi is living a happy life alongside Larissa Yamaguchi, who adopted him in 2016. – It took us four years to correctly diagnose. During that time, I spent £ 800, and Sushi took many different medications that turned out to be ineffective, says Larissa, who has been trying for years to determine what Sushi is sick with.
– After finding a similar cat on the Internet, I decided to go to a cat dermatologist and even for her the sight of Sushi was a real shock. She said the last time she saw a cat with a similar condition was over 10 years ago! The diagnosis terrified me, but it turned out that in his case the disease was not fatal – he describes.
Due to its flabby and itchy skin, sushi requires special care. In addition to a special diet, it is also necessary to regularly moisturize his skin, as well as the use of special clothes and soft collars that support it, while preventing the cat from scratching excessively.
