Rexie is living proof that having a disability doesn’t limit one’s abilities. Despite his broken backbone and lack of control over his two back legs, this 3-year-old feline has a unique and cheerful personality. His cute little face always shows a range of expressions, earning him the nickname “Cat-King Of Bleps” among fans.
According to Dasha Minaeva, Rexie’s owner, their relationship is like that of a model and a photographer. In a previous submission to Bored Panda, she mentioned that the results of their photo sessions are always delightful.
Rexie had a rough start in life, suffering mistreatment from previous owners, leaving him paralyzed and with other health issues. However, over time, this tabby cat has learned to make the most out of life despite his condition. Dasha explains that Rexie doesn’t even realize he’s handicapped. He participates in all the typical activities that playful cats do, except for using the toilet or scratching his ears on his own. That’s where his human companion steps in. Dasha adopted Rexie after he was rescued, and they have been inseparable ever since.
Initially, Minaeva purchased a custom wheelchair to help Rexie move around their home, but it turned out to be unnecessary. “He does much better without it,” she explains. Cats are naturally independent and adapt well to their circumstances. Rexie is more mobile and comfortable walking and running on his two feet.
