Spangles - The Cross-Eyed Cat

Meet Spangles, the cross-eyed cat, who has become an internet sensation after his proud owner Mary Buchanan posted pictures of him wearing costumes online. Now the three-year-old feline has his own Facebook fan page at Facebook.com/spangles09 where thousands of followers eagerly await daily pictures.

Spangles can so far be seen dressed in quirky costumes including a pirate, frog, tiger and unicorn. Mary, 25, a college student from Spartanburg, South Carolina, took him in from a neighbor when he was five months old. She says: “He was born with one cross eye, but he’s never had problems walking or anything. He’s never run into things, or wobbled. He can see perfectly fine. He has been checked out by a vet, and no surgery is needed to correct his sight.”

“Spangles was born on July 4th, so with the Star-Spangled Banner that’s how I got his name. “He’s a total Mama’s boy. He will pose for me, and let me know when he’s in a glamorous mood.” However, ‘Spangles’ noted on a Facebook post: “I was being very stubborn today for my Mama … I wouldn’t let her take pics of me in my new hats.”
