Marie-Josee Brisson and her daughter, Monica, recounted that the nine-year-old feline was a stray cat, who got hit by a car and was put into a coma for three days before having a miraculous recovery.

The two visited Pico while he was being treated by local veterinarians and immediately decided to give him the forever home he deserved.
Five years ago, when Pico was still a kitten, his owners noticed that his usually green eyes had started to turn gray, so they took him back to the veterinarian, where they discovered he had glaucoma in both eyes.
“He used to have green eyes, but one day, he had an infection that possibly caused glaucoma which led to his blindness,” Marie-Josiee explained. “Most of the time, he gets along well with his days, but sometimes he bumps into furniture. He knows the house very well.”
But, not only did Pico find a loving home with Marie-Josiee and Monica, he also became a viral sensation, thanks to his TikTok account, which boasts an impressive 250,000 followers.
Monica gives Pico’s fans regular updates on how he is doing, including taking them on little outings she has with her feline friend, who enjoys going outdoors and chewing grass.
