With her sophisticated poses, coupled with her bedazzled shades and extravagant ensembles, Bagel is stealing the Instagram limelight as she garners over 770,000 followers!
Bagel is a six-years-old feline owned by Karen McGill. Is the shades all just for the sake of being fabulous? It turns out that it isnโt the case:
Karen said she often has to explain that the reason Bagel wears shades is to protect her eyes, rather than simply as a fashion statement.
[...]
According to the Washington Post, Bagel suffers with eyelid agenesis, which is also known as eyelid coloboma.
The condition prevented her eyelids from properly developing.
As a result, she cannot blink or get rid of debris that may get caught in her eyes, which is why she wears the sunglasses, which were made by one of Karen's friends.
