An adorable cross-eyed cat has won a legion of fans for his quirky cartoon-like looks, with 313,000 people following his daily antics.
Fedya, a four-year-old rescue cat, has become a viral sensation on Instagram after his owner Natalya Zhdanova, 42, began sharing photographs of him.
Natalya, from Rostov-on-Don, Russia, found Fedya in her back garden in 2020, and initially feared he might not survive.
The feline was born with a coordination disorder and initially struggled to move.
However, four years on, Fedya is thriving – and has hundreds of thousands of fans.
