A Charleston pet owner got a serious surprise when their cat gave birth to a litter of kittens on Wednesday, one of which had two faces.
According to WCHS-TV, six kittens were born in the litter and one stood out from the rest. The small kitten, named Two Face, has two mouths, two noses and four eyes.
The rare birth defect, known as diprosopus, is uncommon in animals, particularly cats, and most don't survive.
So far, Two Face has been nursing with the rest of the litter and appears to be healthy and beating the odds, according to the report.
Ready4Freddy posted it...he gets the credit :)
Have a great weekend.
It would be nice if kitteh-kitteh makes it to adulthood. Seems to have two complete faces, both of them cute overload.
Kitten cute, even with two faces. I love cats/kittens, both normal and with challenges. :)=^..^=
It’s nursing. That’s the first step.
Me too.
They are naming it Obama.
Six years ago they’d’ve named it Kerry.
Here kitty kitty, kitty kitty
Just about any contemporary democrat would be appropriate.
Ooh noooo ! Looks scary…
