This adorable kitten's GIANT eyes make him look permanently startled (Gallery)

Herman, an exotic shorthair, was born with exceptionally big eyes - giving him a permanently startled expression.

The five-month-old kitty lives in Copenhagen, Denmark, with his doting owner Shirley, 26.

The kitten’s bulbous eyes are so big that he cannot completely close his eyelids - even when he’s sleeping.

However luckily for Shirley, tiny Herman snores, clearly indicating when he’s having a snooze.

Herman, despite his large eyes, has no underlying health problems and is a purrfectly normal house kitty.

And even though he always looks worried, it's clear that Herman has nothing to worry about.

He's in a loving home with a human that adores him. :)
