Meet Tuesday: The Tiny Dwarf Cat With Blue Eyes Who's Breaking Hearts Online
Some cats are so strikingly beautiful that it just stops you in your tracks, and you find yourself wondering: "Is this cat even real?"
Between his bright blue eyes that contract with his black coat and his tiny body, Tuesday the Dwarf cat is one of those unreal, stunning cats who is making the internet fall in love. To believe him, you really do have to see him for yourself:
@tuesdaythedwarfcat Whatever I was saying doesn't matter. Those baby blues stop me in my tracks at least 1000x per day Tuesday being a black cat with blue eyes is not "cute cat" rare. It's "sir, please report to the folklore department" rare. #tuesdaythedwartcat#blueeyedblackcat#cattok#catlover @Sarah | TiredAsAMother

So far, Tuesday has over 160,000 followers on TikTok, and the second you see that face, you'll understand why. He's a total heartbreaker!
His mom admitted that she always loses her train of thought the second she catches a glimpse of her cat, and judging by the comments on the post, she's not the only one. Tuesday has so many fans who are in love with him, including the 180,000 people who have watched the video so far (and yep, that number keeps going up).
In fact, his eyes look so blue that a lot of commenters are asking if his eyes can truly be this blue. According to what his mom wrote in a comment, the answer is yes - even though it's very rare for black cats to have blue eyes.
His eyes aren't the only thing that makes Tuesday unique, though; he also has Dwarfism. He's fully grown and still has a tiny body (but a huge personality to make up for it).

What Is a Dwarf Cat?
You might not have heard of Dwarf cats until Tuesday, but you probably have heard of Munchkin cats, or cats who have a genetic mutation that leads to having very short legs.
Cats with dwarfism are a bit different, though. These cats have a genetic disorder known as achondroplasia, which means that not only do they have short legs, but they have other differences including multiple health issues, often with their brains and hearts.
What to Know Before Adopting a Dwarf Cat
It's impossible to look at Tuesday and not want a cat just like him in your family. But if you ever do end up adopting a Dwarf cat, there are a few things you should be aware of first.
Their medical needs are going to be a big factor when it comes to raising your Dwarf cat. You should be prepared to cover more medical bills than a typical cat might incur, and they may end up having special needs that require more care from you as their human.
They may also struggle with mobility because of their short legs, so Dwarf cats may need assistance jumping on and off of higher surfaces (and sometimes, stairs can be a challenge).
They will shower you with love and cuddles in the way only a cat can, though, which is a huge upside.
And if they're anything like Tuesday, they will come with a playful personality and plenty of attitude. I bet there's never a dull moment with that gorgeous boy around!
