Hey, feline fam. If you're lucky enough as a cat pawrent, you'll never have to take your precious pets in for some sort of medical procedure in their lifetime. However, accidents happen, cats get older, and all sorts of complications can arise when you least expect them to. But, like the pawsitive people we are, we always try to find a silver lining in the bad, and that's exactly what this heartwarming hooman did when they found out their awwdorable feline needed surgery on their lower jaw.

The surgery was a success (hooray!), and now the cute cat has an awwdorable overbite that makes hoomans everywhere smile. Seriously, it's absolutely silly and we dare you to try and not smile at it. If you've ever seen the Simpsons, he's the spitting image of Snowball, the cat. It's just the boost of smiley serotonin we needed to get through the rest of the workday, so get your derp on and scroll down to see more pictures of this kitty cutie below. Have a great day!

    He really does look like him! It's uncanny, or should we say, un-cat-y. We don't want to hear a peep out of you about that pun, do you have any idea how hard it is to come up with cat puns all day long?

    apmee OP 1d ago · Edited 1d ago • To anyone wondering, the procedure (to remove a small bone tumour) was actually last year, and not only was it a complete success (and no sign of the cancer reappearing since then ), but it healed so well and so quickly and he's so food-motivated ―that he was back to scarfing down his favourite food within days!

    And funnily enough, it also ended up markedly improving his relationship with his sister. He always tended to get a bit carried away when grooming her and nibble her a bit too hard. But since he basically lost all ability to "nip", their grooming sessions no longer ended with him getting slapped, and they soon started to become noticeably more relaxed in each other's presence!

    Talk about a silver-lining. Not only did it improve their relationship with their sister, they also turned into a derpy cartoon character in the process, and they're completely healthy! Sounds like a win-win-win to us.

    In case anyone's curious, here's some photos of him from before. And yes I'm shamelessly using this as an excuse to show off how handsome he was/is :)
