Look who got eye surgery!

Before yall get mad at the OP for cat’s button eye pls read this

Sterile Surgical Buttons / Sterile Suture Buttons made out of various latex free materials and used to secure tension suture above the incision site. Ideal for preventing the skin from being cut when tension from a suture is applied.

TLDR - Button are there so the suture string in tension don’t cut into skin. Not photoshopped. Not for the lolz.

I saw this guy at a cat sanctuary and always wondered about the button bc I’d never seen one before

R/piratekitties

Years ago we rescued a cat from a local nonprofit we volunteer at (the cat had been with a family that got moved to subsidized housing that did not allow for pets). She was a nasty, mean girl when we first got her. About a week in though, we noticed her right pupil was diamond shaped. Turns out she was angry because she had a huge tumor in there. It wasn't cheap, but Moony became "the ol' One Eyed Moon", and had a much more loving and happy life afterward. I just wanted to reassure everyone, the cat will definitely be FAR happier, and honestly not really care about the eye once it's healed.

This is Cotton Eye Joe‘s brother Button Eye Moe

Edit: Pun missed.. Button Eye Meow

Please tell me their name is Button

Legit thought the vet did this to make the surgical site look like he’s still got an eye. The meme where someone putting a googly eye where his cat had lost an eye to give him confidence is why I came up with this crazy logic. I was also possibly an orange cat in a past life.

I sense strong Coraline vibes here XD

The Other Orange.

Hi dear Orange Cyclop, team one braincell, and one eye, for the win!

The attention to detail here is great. The vet pulled out his collection of buttons and went straight for the orange one. +1 Cool points for the vet

What kind of surgery was it? Did they have to have their eye removed? Poor baby.

I hope they heal quickly!

Fascinating about the button. Thank you for the info, and I hope kitty heals quickly!

Poor baby! And it looks like it's already missing a leg before that.

Awwwww.

How comes the vet isn’t worried about the cat pulling it off? Does it not give the cat something to hook onto if they had an itchy eye or something? Just curious as I’ve never seen them before

Is him eye ok? Or lost ?

This guy?!

Btw before all that eye gunk n debris builds up and then rips the skin/,irritates poor kitty or becomes a festering spot you can get gauze/cotton non linting soaked in saline/nasal spray gently hold it there and remove the build up if kitty let's you. Don't aim to remove all in one go or both eyes unless cat is chill. Once it's gone you can follow up daily with just s gentle patting a saline. 

 Also kitty has some big ears!

Hope the healing goes well!

Why is there a button on it?

meow cat please meow back

Other Mother is half way into taking the kitties soul! Oh no!

Orange button on orange baby

Button Eyes. I never knew such a cute way of doing eye surgeries. TiL they have surgical buttons for eyes.

This poor baby looks like he's really been through it. :/

Growing up my dog had surgery on his ear (was too young to remember why) but I remember he had 3 buttons sewn into his ear after!

Button eye Joe

Poor little guy-- is he missing a leg, too?

Oh dear, what happened?

Is baby okay?

Thank you for helping this silly kitty, a thousand blessings for you.

I like how they colour matched ish his button. I didn't know that was a thing.

Just so you know, you can get a pack of 200 self adhesive googly eyes for $6.95. Do whatever you want with this information.

Orange is traditional, but if you’d gone for pink, vermillion, or chartreuse… you might have made me jealous.

Is he also missing a back leg??? Poor baby.

CORALINE CAT I ❤️

Is he a tripod too?

He so cute 😍

I started to get creepy Coraline vibes for a second!

Aww...🥹Is he missing one leg?

Cute but mean, could've gave little bro pirate get up before letting thousands see him. It's not too late, give them a glow up.

(I did see that the button is extremely important, but so I fashion)

The flesh is weak

Are you his “other mother?”

You turned her into a Tim Burton character.

Coralline vibes lol

Everyone saying Coraline but at first I thought about Marceline’s teddy, Hambo.

Ps: Wish you fast recovery!

Awe. Wishing a speedy recovery

Pooooor Ginger. 🙁

My 🍊 was missing an eye as well.

Next stop: Live action Coraline audition!

YOOO!!

CORALINE CAT!!!

The orange cone colored button... Lol!

Hope kitty recovers quickly!!!

If that’s cats name isn’t button you fail

Poor little guy! Hope hes doing fine now

[GIF] 

When his eye is feeling better, you should get him a cute eyepatch! 😍

[GIF] 

Did the vet really put a button on his/her eye?! LOL

[GIF] 

Good luck ✌️

They sew buttons into people too, when needed. button on finger! 

Looks like previously had a leg surgery as well. Get him an eye patch and a peg leg for Halloween

pls be careful. you may be lured into a small door in your house where they will eventually try to make you do the same.

[GIF] 

Buttons for eyes?!

Omg, I was so confused and upset at first until I read the comment explaining what exactly the button was 😂 Hope he/she is recovering well!! 💕

He looks all right now. 

Coraline.

Holy Shit! Skynet made a C3000 Terminator cat!

I can see he's absolutely thrilled about this

[Image] 

The thumbnail made me think you replaced one eye with a dragonball.

Coraline cat??

Poor baby

Happy healing to your sweet little button! What a doll 🥰🥰🥰🥰

An orange button is so appropriate. I hope he's ok.

and missing a leg. Are they diabetic?

My kitten was found with a fractured jaw and they used a button on her jaw

That looks very uncomfortable, hopefully he heals well from that, recovery is no joke, i had a cat that had one of her legs amputated, she did pretty well, but recovery was rough.

1 orange brain cell, one orange button, one orange back leg and no tail! Love it. We had an adorable rescue with one tiny front tooth, one piece of claw(incomplete declaw from prior owner) and half tail! Although she was grey and white and had more brain cells than me. I would call her toofless just to irritate my mother(her chosen human servant).
