Couple Gets A Cat, And As He Gets Older, His Eyes Change Into Round, Orange, Horror-Like Eyes

One Twitter user recently shared a photo of their black cat with unique eyes. “Every single day I have to gaze upon this eldritch horror,” the caption says about a cat named Gremlin whose black fur, protruding tongue, and round, orange eyes are reminiscent of cats seen in horror movies. With his unique look, Gremlin could certainly be a living symbol of Halloween.

His owners say that when they got him, they didn’t expect him to have these unique eyes. His eyes only changed when he grew older. “We got Gremlin a little while after moving to Melbourne from Sydney (Australia). He will be 2 years old in December! We had no idea his eyes would be this colour because we got him when he was little and his eyes were much paler as most cats are born with blue eyes! You can see early pictures of him on the Instagram page—his eyes got much brighter as he’s grown up. We jokingly call Gremlin our son, haha. We love him very much,” says Gremlin’s owner to Bored Panda.

Gremlin loves to keep his owners company while they work and actually helped them to endure the quarantine. “I am a musician and he sits with me while I teach and write songs. My partner is an indie game developer and Gremlin sits in his studio and keeps him company while he codes and makes his games. He has really kept us sane during lockdown in Melbourne. It’s pretty much impossible to not smile when you see him come into the room.”

    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.

    Sorry, yes, Gremlin is very cute but when a cat is so badly bred that their nose is between their eyes they are usually in very poor health. Poor little thing.

    Yeah, their breathing problems can be so severe they sustain mild brain damage.

    No wonder the poor cat always has his mouth open- he can barely breathe out of that sad, flat nose. Please, don't breed or buy these poor "pansy faced" breeds. It is cruel.

    This is terrible. These breeds should be illegal. >:( Yes, they eyes are amazing, but that doesn't excuse things.
