AN ADORABLE one-eyed kitten has been dubbed the 'pirate cat' because of his pirate-like facial expressions. Rheanne Charise Taylor, of Fairfield, Iowa, USA, gave Wesley the kitten his nickname after adopting him from Noah's Ark Animal Foundation, an animal shelter in Fairfield. To show off her cute kitten, the 27-year-old created an Instagram account for Wesley, who is now 19-months-old.
