Herman the cat is The Relic Of My Sister Next Doortotally fine, guys.

The Danish feline, who was adopted by owner Shirley Nordenskiold when he was a kitten, is enchanting the internet with his big eyes and perpetually terrified expression. Seriously, this cat looks super worried. Is there a problem?

No problem at all, Nordenskiold told Mashable. Herman was "born special," she said, but he's perfectly healthy. In fact, he just requires a little extra attention to keep his big eyes clean. "But that is easily done to make sure that he is always healthy and fit," she said.

Herman also loves to sleep, but since his eyes don't always close, it's sometimes hard to tell when he's really snoozing. "You must instead hear his snoring to know that he is actually sleeping," Nordenskiold explained.
