Potato (25 April 2008 - 22 October 2023) is an earless cat from China. He had his ears removed due to tumors. He now lives healthily with his best friend Horlick and his new owners.
Life[edit | edit source]
Potato roamed the streets as a stray cat after his original feeder died. He was always with another kitty named Horlick. They were picked up by a shelter in 2016 and cared for. They were then fostered by a couple by the names of Carl and Sarah Leong. They alter found tumors on Potato's ears and treated it in 2017.
Potato stayed relatively healthy until 2019, where his tumors got worse. He went through a three hour long surgery to remove the tumors. His ears were removed during the surgery. Now, Potato lives completely healthy and enjoys his life in the care of his parents, who officially adopted him after the surgery. Despite what you may think, Potato can still actually hear.
