The disease this cat suffers from is a rare condition that affects the connective tissues and makes him look sad all the time
In Brazil there is a cat that, in recent days, has acquired unexpected popularity due to its unhappy and sulky expression which has earned it the title of "saddest cat in the world".
It is a Brazilian cat from lively São Paulo who as a puppy lived around the streets of his city until a woman, Larissa Yamaguchi, saw him and decided to adopt the little one, taking him home with her.
Sushi, this is the name that Larissa decided to give to her new feline friend, but taking care of the animal she noticed almost immediately that the cat had a different expression from all its peers and so, in addition to making routine checks , the vet diagnosed the syndrome the Ehlers Danlos, a disease also called feline skin asthenia for which there is no cure.
Ehlers Danlos syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects connective tissues, causing hypersensitivity and fragility of the skin. In cats this condition is immediately visible on the face of the animal due to the loss of normal elasticity of the skin which appears so limp and sagging.
