It’s a sad fact that some people can be wary of animals that don’t look how they expect them to.

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.

Thankfully, he was rescued and then adopted by a loving family, but an infection meant he lost an eye.

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.

What the camera did capture was a boy who visited Ace every day and what he did was thankfully caught on camera.

Ace’s owner Norma Maikovich says that the little cat is misunderstood by some of the people he encounters.

“He can sometimes seem scary, especially to children,” Norma Maikovich, Ace’s owner, told The Dodo.  “People are often hesitant to greet him.”

But clearly this isn’t the case for everyone who meets this adorable cat.

Ace absolutely loves to spend the days lying in his owner’s driveway so to keep an eye on him, Norma put up a security camera.

What she saw one day warmed her heart.

A boy was captured on camera visiting the cat every day, undeterred by his appearance, and sits with him, petting and playing with him.
