When Monica witnessed a tiny kitten being struck by a car, she couldn’t have anticipated the incredible journey that awaited her. The kitten, named Pico, was severely injured and slipped into a coma for nearly three days. Monica stayed by his side, fearing the worst. But miraculously, Pico emerged from the coma, opening his vibrant green eyes. His resilience was nothing short of remarkable.
Under Monica’s devoted care, Pico’s life transformed. He explored like any cherished house cat, and endless affection flowed between them. However, a change in Pico’s eye condition raised concern. His eyes began to cloud over and swell.
A visit to the vet confirmed a common feline issue: his eyes turned milky, and his vision faded. Yet, Pico’s adventurous spirit remained undimmed by his encroaching blindness.
Pico’s distinctive appearance—large, moon-like eyes—quickly captured hearts on social media. People affectionately called him the ‘alien cat’ and ‘cosmic kitty.’ His story resonated globally, drawing admirers from far and wide.
But as Pico showed signs of discomfort, pawing at his eyes, Monica knew action was necessary. The vet recommended eye removal surgery to prevent further distress. It was a tough decision, but Monica trusted the medical professionals to ensure Pico’s well-being.
After the surgery, Monica shared an update, expressing relief and celebrating Pico’s resilience. He adapted remarkably well to his new reality. This reassured his followers that, despite his fame, Pico’s health came first.
