The Daily Mail (UK) ^ | 8/19/08

If Batman had a cat, it would probably look something like this. The household pet, named Yoda, was born with an extra set of ears. Valerie and Ted Rock took him in two years ago after visiting a bar near their home in Chicago, where he was being passed round by curious drinkers. He was one of a large litter and the owners were looking for a home for him. A good listener: Two-year-old house cat Yoda was born with four ears The couple immediately fell for the freaky feline and asked the owner if they could adopt him. Valerie, 65, said: 'We were at a pub on the south side of Chicago with a group of friends when we noticed a small cage sitting on the bar and people passing around a kitten. 'Yoda's hearing is normal as far as we know,' says Valerie. 'People do a double take when they see him or his picture. It is great fun showing him off. Yoda: The wise Star Wars character the cat was named after 'We have actually had people ask if we had his ears cut to look this way. 'But he is a perfectly normal affectionate, curious cat and is a joy to have around. 'He is not afraid of anything and is very sociable unlike some of the other cats I have owned. 'But he does have an interesting obsession with bread - I can't leave bread on the counter for a moment. 'And when he purrs, it is not audible. The only way I know that he is purring is to put my finger on his throat to feel the vibration. 'He also is not very vocal. He meows, but only softly, and not very often which is a good thing.'
