Not all cats look alike, but we all know that. But these differences do not end in size and fur color. Some cats look more special than others because of a different feature than the feline norm. One such difference is ear size - and we're not (necessarily) talking about too big or too small ears. We're talking about one pawrent who shared a picture of her precious cat lady, who has one regular ear and one itty bitty ear. It's as if one ear of this purrecious cat decided it's not growing past being a kitten's ear, despite the cat being a grown-up.

Now, of course it came with a dash of cat comedy. Because obviously, the cat cannot listen to their hooman because their ear is too small, no? This humorous hooman asked for a 'spare ear' that'll match the other one, and of course, the online feline family saw it as an opportunity to celebrate some clear cat comedy. Hey, when there's an opportunity - the online feline family takes it. And we love when it happens. We love and laugh when it happens. Some celebrated with some puns, some shared their own cats with different ear sizes, and some shared their huge-eared cats and suggested sharing.

We love it when the online feline family comes together to have a laugh, because it always involves the thing we all love the most - cats. Cat comedy is the best kind of comedy, and it's amazing that with the magic of the internet, we can share it with feline fanatic fans from all over the world.

We love this picture of this purrecious cat. It's amazing how, despite the picture being tilted on the side, the ears are almost the same height, since one of them is so small. We love that the online feline fam came together to celebrate this with a dash of humor.

Unlike the different size ear cats - this Dumbo-like cat is sure to take off in flight. If you even see a cat flying in the sky, know they must have very big ears.
