Two-faced kitten born in Australia

[sammich]

Absolutely adorable! What more can I say?

A two-headed kitten born in Midvale yesterday has left local vets baffled.

The kitten's mother was taken to the Swan Veterinary Clinic after suffering complications while in labour.

Community Newspapers photographer Matthew Poon happened to be at the vets for an unrelated visit and snapped the amazing images of the kitten.

There were three kittens born in the litter, but just one was left with such a unique deformity.

The kitten eats out of just one mouth because of a cleft palate, but both mouths meow simultaneously.

Louisa Burgess, a veterinary nurse who helped deliver the kitten, told InMyCommunity.com.au that she had never seen such an unusual animal in her 12-year career.

“I have seen cats with two tails and extra legs, but not this,” she said.

Ms Burgess said the cat appeared healthy, but it would be closely monitored over the next few days.

“It has a full tummy and it survived the night so that is a good sign,” she said. “It seems content, it meows and purrs.

“This is the result of a congenital deformity. Something has gone wrong in the early embryonic development.”

Well if the kitten survives, there is a good chance the city voters will elect it to a top political position.

Oh wow, that's actually pretty cool. Usually two-headed animals look like abominations.

 

[Schtumple]

It's practically double the cuteness.

I find most cats two-faced, to be honest.

The article mentions that the cat only eats through one mouth, so it would seem that it can only eat one cheeseburger. However, it can meow through both mouths, so the counter staff may mistakenly provide it with two cheeseburgers.

It could be quite an embarrassing situation for all involved, if you think about it.

It had better not start trying to fly outwith Canada, that's all I'm saying.

It could potentially share its double cheeseburger order with a guide dog, though. It's quite a charming image, apart for the fact one of the animals has two faces of course.

That's the most frightening thing I've seen. Imagine that thing walking up to you on hind legs. It does nothing. It just slowly takes steps towards you sat by your computer, you see it but it doesn't acknowledge your existance. It just. Stands there.

HAHA!

i wonder if the owner/s will give it two names? does two heads give it two personalities and behaviour? or does the single body take over and act as one cat?

I was a little disappointed when I saw this thread was hijacked by this comment. Mostly because I didn't get it BUT...
