Recently, a Twitter user (@achebit) shared a photo of their black cat with unique eyes named Gremlin. The photo quickly went viral due to the cat’s captivating appearance.

The cat has black fur and striking, round, orange eyes that give it a unique and somewhat eerie look. The owner humorously referred to Gremlin as an “eldritch horror.” Despite his distinctive appearance, Gremlin is a lovable and friendly cat.

When the owners got Gremlin, they didn’t expect him to have such unique eyes. As a kitten, his eyes were much paler, and they changed as he grew older. Not all black cats have orange eyes; eye color can range from green to hazel to orange to copper. Kittens typically start with blue eyes, and their eye color changes as they mature.

The owners got Gremlin after moving to Melbourne from Sydney, Australia. Gremlin is almost 2 years old, and his owners jokingly refer to him as their son. He has become a beloved companion, bringing joy and laughter to their lives.

Gremlin enjoys making funny expressions and loves to keep his owners company. Whether sitting with the musician owner during songwriting sessions or offering companionship to the indie game developer owner, Gremlin has become an essential part of their lives, especially during lockdown.

People on social media fell in love with Gremlin’s unique and endearing look. The cat’s captivating eyes and charming personality have garnered widespread admiration. People shared their thoughts, describing the cat’s eyes as “pretty” and expressing how the cat’s appearance creates a mix of awe and affection.

Overall, Gremlin has become an internet sensation, showcasing that unique-looking pets can capture the hearts of people around the world.
