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."

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

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 :-).

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.

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

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.

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.
