Happy tears: Sad-eyed cat looking like an Internet star

Life is pretty good for the saddest-looking cat in the world.

Luhu is becoming quite the Internet star, thanks to the sweetest, most forlorn-yet-adorable series of photos on Instagram featuring an animal possibly ever.

His owner, Maggie Liu who lives in Beijing, told ABC News that the little tabby cat contracted eye infections shortly after he was born and had surgery. His vision hasn’t really been the same since.

Liu is closing in on 74,000 followers.

We are all lucky that Luhu only uses the power of his perpetually woebegone appearance for “Ohhh, cute!” and “Awwww, kitty, don’t be sad,” reactions. Because he could take all our money just by blinking and asking and then rule the world.
