A blind cat's adorable early morning greeting for her owner is captivating pet lovers online.

Moet the Blind Cat already boasts over 560,000 followers on TikTok with the account promising to deliver "a daily dose of no-eyed cuteness" to fans everyday.

Her latest entry is no different, with Moet's owner taking to social media to offer viewers a glimpse of day-to-day life with the sightless moggy.

"Blind cat wakes up mom with cutest squeaks," an accompanying caption reads.

In the video, some onscreen text explains that Moet's owner is woken up at "3 A.M. every day" by the dulcet tones of her fluffy cat.

The video sees Moet padding around her owner's apartment, emitting a series of softly sweet meows that are likely to melt even the most hardened of hearts.

Posted online alongside the haunting orchestral score from James Cameron's blockbuster epic Titanic, the video might be simple but it undoubtedly tugs at the heartstrings.

Moet's meows are certainly proving popular on social media too, with the footage of her sweet cries garnering over 11 million views on TikTok. It can be watched here.

Commenting on the video, Vanessa Rose-Turpin said: "This is the cutest thing in the whole world" while Paige Zilba wrote: "OMG I LOVE THIS CAT."

"I started tearing up," Hailey Eanes said. "I love your cat." Gobbychick remarked: "Even at 3 A.M. She's adorable." Grittymonster..91 commented: "What an angel" _roxannerm declared: "I just want to hug her."

Newsweek has contacted Moet's owner for comment.

According to Moet's official website, she developed a serious bout of cat flu as a kitten living in an Omani pet shop waiting to find a home. The website describes how she was "left without food and water" in "a dirty cage and litter box" with "no bed to lie on."

Thankfully she was rescued and though Moet went on to lose her eyes, she is now happy and safe in a new forever home with Emily Shotter in Oman, along with two other felines called Luna and Kuro.

According to Cat Protection, it is important to keep blind cats indoors "ensuring they have access to a safely-fenced garden or run if necessary." Blind cats should be microchipped "in case they escape" and entertained with "toys and puzzle feeders."

"Encourage your cat to walk around on their own and avoid carrying them," they recommend. "The scent glands on their paws allow them to leave a trail of scent that they can follow to keep their setting familiar."

They also recommend owners talk to their cat as they approach them "to avoid startling them" and "avoid moving furniture, toys and litter trays," while making sure not to "leave obstacles in unexpected places."

The video follows on from viral footage of a blind cat adjusting to life after both his eyes were removed as a result of a serious infection.

Elsewhere, a cat born without eyeballs is proving popular online after developing an inseparable relationship with his "seeing eye" mother at an Iowa animal shelter.
