Toby, a six-year-old cat, has recently caught the attention of feline enthusiasts due to his unique appearance. He suffers from a syndrome that causes his skin to be unusually elastic, fragile, and loose, which is caused by a lack of collagen. This condition is similar to what Grumpy Cat, also known as Tardar Sauce, had. Grumpy Cat passed away not too long ago, leaving the internet in mourning for the famous feline. However, Toby may just be the new rising star in the world of cats.
Georgina Price, the proud owner of minino, shared with London media how she found her beloved pet Toby. While searching for a furry companion to adopt, she stumbled upon an online website that featured a photo of Toby. His unique physical traits immediately caught her attention. Price revealed that Toby has been diagnosed with feline skin asthenia (FCA) or Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS). This condition makes Toby’s skin unusually elastic, fragile, and loose due to the lack of collagen.
Before discovering this illness, it was completely unknown to us. However, what we did know was that our home was filled with an abundance of love, which was a necessity in our lives, as expressed by Price. Your skin’s fine texture makes it susceptible to injuries even when you engage in everyday activities like cleaning or frolicking with other felines. This is because of the skin’s stretchiness which causes the stomach to sag downwards towards the knees. The animal’s Instagram page boasts over 30k followers.
