SHREWSBURY, Mass. -- Saved from being put to death, a two-faced cat has shown that beating the odds only takes a little love and faith.

Milbury native Marty saved the cat from being euthanized almost seven years ago.

"I just fell in love with him," Marty said. "I'm a bleeding heart."

Marty named the cat Frank and Louis so each face would have a name.

Frank and Louis have altogether two mouths, two noses and two working eyes.

Cats with two faces are extremely rare. Most die within a few days of being born, but not Frank and Louis.

"Everyday I thank God that he is still doing ok," Marty said. "He's like my son."

No jokes, just WOW!

[martin_fierro]

But honestly: Can one be catty without two faces?

[Slings and Arrows]

P.S. Thanks to corbie for the tip!

[MaryFromMichigan]

Somehow, it reminds me of Hillary Clinton.

[The Red Zone]

Here kitties, kitties, kitties...

Mmeeooww!!

Wonder if it has a double brain.

I'm so glad there are people who are so much better at things than I am. I can't get to the video portion but from the photo it looks like such a beautiful cat. But I don't think I could stand living with the two faces.

Paging Spider Jerusalem....

Just damn.

If you want on the list, FReepmail me.

[Mad Dash]

Poor thing, but the baby does not know that..two faces is what it knows..and love..

[EveningStar]

Miscellaneous Ping List ping!

[trussell]

He's beautiful, and seems very docile!

[The Red Zone]

With two noses it can sniff out turkey in the refrigerator twice as well as a normal cat.

[goldfinch]

That is an amazing cat. A little spooky looking, maybe, but I am glad someone took a chance and saved him. I am a sucker for these kinds of stories.

[Slings and Arrows]

TBut I don't think I could stand living with the two faces.

ink of how Theresa Heinz-Kerry must feel.

[Slings and Arrows]

He was playing kissy-face in the video. (Only using one tongue, AFAIK.)

[trussell]

I saw that and thought it was just adorable!!
What is "AFAIK"?

[melt]

That 2-headed cat must have stolen an extra head from "Mags the Cat", who lost his head in an auto accident--- and lived.

[CindyDawg]

They are Siamese twins. I'm glad he treats them as two.

[Slings and Arrows]

AFAIK = As Far As I Know

[IronJack]

I'm thinking the Dems may have a new mascot ...

[Slings and Arrows]

"Mags the Cat" was a joke. Mike the Headless Chicken, OTOH...

[CindyDawg]

No head? Ok, is this one ..I don't want to say joke ..but fiction too?

[EQAndyBuzz]

I would have named the cat Kerry.

[CindyDawg]

Why? What did they deserve for that?

[trussell]

Ah...thank you!

[GOP Poet]

Any animal is too good for that name. Maybe name their feces Kerry and the one's following, Gore, He Clinton, Her Clinton, then Boxer, Pelosi, . . . you get the picture :-).

[onedoug]

two-faced ping

[Mad Dash]

Right! But cats are not known for their sense of smell..they can SEE everything..and 4 eyes? Great! Cute little bugger too!

[Lx]

Awesome!! We just had another that didn't make it a few months ago.

[Mad Dash]

Me too CD..But, the fact is, this cat (cats?) know no diference..that they are loved is a gift.

[trussell]

That's a joke...no way can an animal live for any length of time without a head. They have to be able to take in nutrition somehow.

[teenyelliott]

Okay, a little weird, but a pretty kitty. It would appear that he is perfectly healthy. Why would they have put him to sleep?

[brytlea]

I was wondering if there are two brains, and does he eat from both mouths? Very curious. But he seemed healthy and happy.

If the cat is happy and healthy, I don't see that there's a problem. He certainly doesn't know that he's unusual.

That's so neat
Thanks for posting this

If you look closely, there is a straw sticking out of the hole. Apparently, Mags likes strawberry milk shakes...

No, you're right. It's a joke.

One animal that can live without a head, however,{ until it starves to death} is the cockroach. It has no brain--- just a series of large ganglia that runs down its body, and coordinates its nervous system.

Two faces? Must be a Demo-cat !

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

THIS cat was mummified by the Egyptians in 1,200 BC -- AND LIVED!

[Mount Athos]

"I just fell in love with him," Marty said. "I'm a bleeding heart."

Bleeding hearts always fall for the two faced pussies.

[Fresh Wind]

Does he get 18 lives?

[Kimmers]

Does this mean he throws up 2 hairballs?

[Cobra64]

[ßuddaßudd]

Good Golly!

[Ready4Freddy]

Only 2 working eyes, apparently.

[T Minus Four]

Holy cats, too cool!

[T Minus Four]

I hate those toilet paper commercials with the cartoon bears. They're starting to cross the line from cutesy implications to a little too much frankness. Next they'll show the bears actually wiping.
