It\u2019s a sad fact that some people can be wary of animals that don\u2019t look how they expect them to.<\/p>\n
Ace the cat had a tough start in life; as a kitten he found himself homeless and having to fend for himself on the street.<\/p>\n
Thankfully, he was rescued and then adopted by a loving family, but an infection meant he lost an eye.<\/p>\n
His owners say his unusual appearance does mean some kids are frightened of him and a home security camera was installed to keep tabs on the furry feline.<\/p>\n
What the camera did capture was a boy who visited Ace every day and what he did was thankfully caught on camera.<\/p>\n
Ace\u2019s owner Norma Maikovich says that the little cat is misunderstood by some of the people he encounters.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe can sometimes seem scary, especially to children,\u201d Norma Maikovich, Ace\u2019s owner, told The Dodo. \u201cPeople are often hesitant to greet him.\u201d<\/p>\n
But clearly this isn\u2019t the case for everyone who meets this adorable cat.<\/p>\n
Ace absolutely loves to spend the days lying in his owner\u2019s driveway so to keep an eye on him, Norma put up a security camera.<\/p>\n
What she saw one day warmed her heart.<\/p>\n
A boy was captured on camera visiting the cat every day, undeterred by his appearance, and sits with him, petting and playing with him.<\/p>\n
In a video you can see how the boy and Ace cuddle and play with each other. It\u2019s obvious that Ace adores his mate.<\/p>\n
\u2018It\u2019s awesome, this bond they share\u2019
\nThe cat\u2019s true personality comes out as she\u2019s so gentle with her friend and the boy seems so happy to see her and play with her.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt melted our hearts, not just seeing how much Ace loves this boy, but how familiar they were to each other!\u201d Norma told The Dodo. \u201cSitting by the front door, as soon as Ace sees his friend, he rushes out to greet him. It\u2019s awesome, this bond they share.\u201d<\/p>\n
