Amazing Photographer Focuses On Disabled Cats To Prove They’re Just As Pawsome As Any Other Cat



Talented photographer Monika Malek is using her talents to highlight the beauty of disabled cats. Her photographs prove that disabled or not, cats are all the same amazing creatures in need of love, cat-nip, and scratching posts.

Malek writes via Bored Panda, “I wish to change the way people think about disabled cats. I wish to change the mind set of dividing cats into categories of worse and better, and hope that people would treat disabled cats normal. Not special, not worse but, simply, normal.”

Malek hopes that her latest photo project changes at least a few perceptions about disabled cats. “It doesn’t matter whether a cat lacks an ear, tail or eye, if it has leukemia or any other disease. It is still a cat. It still purrs…”

Malek works to capture photos of disabled cats in the midst of their most typical feline moments. “I have tried my best to capture the fact, that regardless to their disabilities, their behavior is just like that of any other cat’s. Inability is a state of mind. They don’t feel worse so why would we treat them as such?”
