Moet was only a tiny kitten when her eyesight started to deteriorate and within a short span, she went blind. Ulitlamelty, her eyes had to be removed.
However, Moet is a lucky cat that she was being rescued and now the adorable cat delights people globally with her sweet actions.
Moet has amassed 82,000 followers on Instagram, 45,000 on Twitter, and 10,000 on Facebook.

Moet's owner Emily started to share her videos on social media on TikTok in 2020 and now the 8-year old feline has a following of over 640,000 and has racked up a total of 8.5 million likes.
A video of Moet waking Nottingham-born Emily at 3 am with her quiet meows delighted TikTok, and the clip received over 17 million views.
One commenter wrote: “This is the cutest thing in the whole world”.
Another said: “Not to be dramatic but I would die for your cat”.
Recently Emily shared heartbreaking news with Moet's followers on social media and shares that the cat has been struggling with health issues over the past few days and it is suspected that she might have feline calicivirus. Feline calicivirus can cause upper respiratory infections (URIs) or cat flu, according to International Cat Care.
Moet also had ulcers on her tongue and needs medication for her intestines, but she has been regularly going to the vet to receive treatment.
Despite struggling with so many health issues, the cat makes sure to make the most of her happy moments with her family.
In a recent video showing Moet playing, the on-screen text reads: “I am a very happy girl and know my way around. Blind cats can live happy, full lives, just like blind people can”.
Talking to Metro, Emily said: “There are loads of blind cats in shelters who are unnecessarily euthanised every year because people think they are ‘unadoptable’. This is simply not the case, which is what we try to show so that more are adopted into loving, caring homes.
“As long as they are willing and able to provide a loving and caring ‘forever’ home and a safe environment for them, then they should go for it!”

Though this is true that adopting a cat with special needs requires special care and time, that doesn't mean that they can't live happy and full lives. And the love they share with their family is actually very rewarding.
On Moet’s website, Emily has shared tips on caring for a blind cat, and also sells Moet-branded merch.
All proceeds from sales go towards animal rescue charity Omani Paws.
