Meet Luhu, a cat with what is being called the "saddest face on Instagram." But don't confuse his forlorn look with his true feelings: His owner, Maggie Liu, says Luhu is actually quite a happy kitty and "very friendly."

The Huffington Post reports that Luhu's constant look of sadness comes from an early eye infection, which caused his eyes to turn downward.

"He got a pretty major operation on his eyes at that time," Liu told ABC News. "So Luhu always opens his eyes pretty hard when he needs to look at something."
