Look at the eyes on this kitten! She can't be real, can she? Dorito is a five-month-old black kitten in Minnesota who looks like she's been Photoshopped or is a product of AI. But she is very much real, and has those hypnotic eyes as a result of illness. Her swollen eyes are a rare symptom of feline infectious peritonitis (FIP).
Dorito and her sister Cheeto were found behind a dumpster and came into the care of the Bitty Kitty Brigade. Both kittens were ill, but Dorito's eyes began to swell as they were treated. A veterinary ophthalmologist diagnosed her with FIP and she has undergone treatment. She is now disease-free and the pressure in her eyes is back to normal, but no one knows if they will ever return to a normal size. Dorito and Cheeto have been adopted by their foster family. Dorito has limited eyesight, and requires eyedrops because she can't fully close her eyes even when sleeping. See more of Dorito, including videos. -via Fark
