| Mr. Magoo in contemplation. |
The one-of-a-kind pieces are selling for $30.00. The animal center is using the proceeds to help find families who are ready to adopt.
The nine-year-old cat is blind as a result of an upper-respiratory infection that sadly never got treated. His trademark moves were caused by psychological stress when he was tethered to a leash outdoors. Continuous circling became his outlet.
Mr. Magoo cannot be adopted as the center believes an unchanging environment is best for him. However the sweet cat can be sponsored.

I have mixed feelings about this. It is very sad that he had been treated so badly, in fact it makes me extremely angry that people are so cruel. I hope this painting outlet is therapeutic for him. Maybe he likes the feel of the paint?
ReplyDeletevery interesting video x
Mr Magoo! Poor thing! :-( It's so sad when you understand the reason why he goes round and round. Poor Mr Magoo.
ReplyDeleteI hope he continues to feel happy and free and loved where he is now! Take care

This kitty certainly tugs at your heartstrings. What a beautiful life he now has, safe, warm, loved...*sigh*
ReplyDeleteWe wish and hope that someday more disabled cats will be treated with love and respect.

It also tugs at my heart strings. I feel like the poor cat needs some help rather than go in circles all his life. I wonder if he ever just stays still or walks in a straight line. It is good that the paintings are bringing money in for the shelter but I feel like Mr. Magoo needs a little better life. Maybe not.
ReplyDeletePoor Mr. Magoo! As I played his painting video, Skootch hopped in front of the screen to watch.
ReplyDeleteOh poor Mr. Magoo. Knowing what happened to him and seeing him going in circles just breaks my heart. It's great he is now being cared and loved and safe. I hope he has a long happy, wonderful life.
