Purr-fectly Imperfect: Internet Sensation Muni the Cross-Eyed Cat’s Rise to Fame

A Siamese cat with a unique crossed-eye feature has captured the hearts of many online after her owner, Ani Hovsepian, shared adorable videos of her lounging around the house. Muni, born in 2012 and rescued from the streets of Armenia, has no trouble navigating her surroundings despite her crossed eyes. However, Ani mentioned that her quirk has slightly hindered Muni’s mouse-catching skills.

 

Muni (shown in the picture above), who is 3 years old, was probably left behind by her previous owner due to her unique cross-eyed look.

During the holiday season, Muni, the Siamese cat with crossed eyes, lounges at home wearing a festive Christmas hat.

Ani Hovsepian came across Muni while she was wandering the streets of Armenia, and decided to take her in as her owner. Muni, despite being cross-eyed, still manages to get by without any major issues with her vision, although it does hamper her ability to catch bugs or flies. In fact, she often ends up missing her target altogether. Like most cats, Muni enjoys lounging around and relaxing, as seen in various videos capturing her sprawled out on furniture and floors. Ani Hovsepian has lovingly captured her pet’s leisurely lifestyle in these recordings. Despite her unique appearance, Ani believes that Muni was likely abandoned because of her eyes. Ani feels lucky to have such a special cat in her life and notes that Muni has grown to enjoy the attention, even displaying a bit of diva behavior since becoming a social media star.

Ms. Hovsepian expressed that the person who owned her did not fully appreciate the specialness of the cat they had.

Ms. Hovsepian mentioned that even though Muni’s crossed eyes did not impact her eyesight, she struggled with catching mice.

According to her, ever since she began capturing images of her pet Muni, he has transformed into quite the ‘drama queen’.

Similar to most felines, Muni is known for her playful and laid-back nature. However, her crossed eyes make it challenging for her to efficiently catch mice.
