This adorable creature is causing quite a stir on the web with his one-of-a-kind face and that tongue always sticking out. Surprisingly, some individuals mistakenly assume that he suffers from a mental disorder due to his peculiar expressions.

According to Rich and Emma, who shared their opinion on Ikiru’s dental health with Bored Panda, our beloved cat has been praised for having excellent teeth by their veterinarian. They also mentioned that Ikiru is in great overall health. While it is typical for exotic shorthair cats to have slightly chubby faces, Ikiru breaks the mold with his energetic and well-groomed appearance. Although not constant, Ikiru has a unique quirk of occasionally sticking out his tongue, which adds a touch of humor to his already amusing facial expressions.

The moment Rich and Emma laid eyes on Ikiru on the cat breeder’s website, they fell head over heels in love. Enthralled by the adorable photos, the couple made up their minds to bring him into their home without any hesitation. Eager to share Ikiru’s charm with the rest of the world, they wasted no time in creating an Instagram account dedicated to documenting his everyday adventures.

It’s even more amusing to witness his playful side, which never fails to bring some good laughs. One of his distinctive traits is his fondness for burrowing under objects like blankets or paper sheets, not to mention his spontaneous habit of observing you upside down from a random corner.

The moniker ‘Ikiru’ is inspired by a remarkable creation of Kurosawa in the realm of cinema, while the term ‘live’ in Japanese is meant to depict the act of existence. Delightfully bent in an inverted position, he derives immense pleasure from engaging in mischievous endeavors.

Emma and Rich were certainly taken aback by the unexpected fame their feline friend achieved. Messages from all corners of the globe pour in, praising the cat’s overwhelming cuteness, comical expressions, and charming character, all of which never fail to brighten people’s days. The popularity is such that fans have even expressed their admiration through artistic creations. Awe-inspiring illustrations have emerged, beautifully encapsulating the cat’s distinct and delightful quirks.
