This Photographer Proves That Disabled Cats Are No Different From Any Other Cat

Monika Malek has a pretty cool job. As a self-labeled “catographer” she spends her days taking pictures of cats! In recent months, a personal photography project came to mind that touched her heart immensely. She wanted to use her skills behind the camera to construct a series she calls “I’m Still a Cat”. For the series, she photographed 100 different cats that all live with disabilities. Monika did this because she wanted to raise awareness towards cats living with disabilities, and to prove that they are absolutely no different than any other cat is.

All cats play, all cats meow, and every cat should be treated equally regardless of their physical condition. Monika points out that inability is simply a state of mind. If these cats don’t feel any different about themselves, then why should we treat them as such? The beauty Monika captures shines through her photos, and as you can see all cats really are created equally. Here is a sample of the touching photos that she has shared via her FB page:
