Kitten Born With Two Faces

Shocked Vets delivered a kitten with two faces today in Perth, Western Australia.  The kitten can only eat with one of it’s mouths due to a cleft palate, but meows simultaneously through both. 

Louise Burgess, a Veterinary Nurse, who delivered the kitten with Vet George Hubes, said she had never seen a two faced kitten in 12 years of working in animal health.

“I have seen cats with two tails and extra legs, but not this”, she said.  “It has a full tummy and survived the night, so that is a good sign.  It seems content and it meows and purrs”.  She added “This is the result of a congenital deformity.  Something has gone wrong in the early embryonic development”.

The owners plan to keep the kitten and are considering calling it Mr Men or Quasi Modo, according to the Australian website InMyCommunity.com.au

Another two faced kitten was born in Texas in February last year.  In August a kitten with four eyes, two noses and one mouth was born in Ohio, but died after five days.
