When residents of a small town in Bulgaria spotted a strange green cat walking around, they immediately thought some animal abuser had maliciously painted the cat as a sick joke. Later they discovered that this cat had simply slept in a pile of synthetic green paint, giving it a strange appearance.

Despite the odd color, the cat appears to be doing well, even socializing with other cats who seem to overlook the green cat’s appearance. If cats can look beyond visual colors, perhaps there’s still hope for the rest of the human race to avoid discriminating based on skin color as well.
