Gimo is a Scottish Fold cat, and his genetics lead to part of his sweet and captivating charm, notes the Cat Fanciers' Association. This cat breed has ears that are folded downward and forward on its head, making it appear like an owl or teddy bear. The folded ears occur because of an incomplete dominant gene, the result of a spontaneous mutation.
All Gimo's fans care about is his precious, winsome look and the large eyes that look as if he is continually being surprised by something around him.
It's easy to see why Gimo gets his way with his owners. All it takes is a slight tilt of the head, the quizzical look in his eyes and that adorable face, and Gimo is guaranteed to get whatever he wants.
Whether Gimo is posing for pictures with one of his cat siblings, lounging on the floor or hanging out in a cardboard box, he is the center of attention for his owners and his thousands of adoring fans.
Gimo's mesmerizing eyes are set off equally by his cute little nose and his gloriously shiny and fluffy coat. Other cats seem to pale in comparison to Gimo.
