One of the newborn kittens belonging to an Arkansas pet owner’s cat was born with two faces.
The kitten’s owner, Ariel Contreras, said, “I went to go do laundry, I’d seen my cat was like meowing, and then all of a sudden kittens started popping out, and I started calling for my husband.” “Since this is the second one, my husband kept saying, “Honey, it has two heads! I responded, “No way!” ’”
Harvey is named after the fictional Batman bad guy Harvey Dent, often known as Two Face. A rare genetic abnormality known as a Janus cat is brought on by excessive protein production during pregnancy.
The extra skull is the only thing it lacks, according to Dr. Tim Addis, a veterinarian with Alley Cat Animal Rescue. If you’re feeding baby from a bottle, its chances of surviving are just as good as those of its siblings.
Addis claims that in his more than 60 years of working with animals, he has never encountered a mutation of this rarity.
You can feed either mouth, and it can absorb nourishment via either mouth, so they appear to be working together. He declared, “It’s totally different.
Different is the right word. There are very few known instances of Janus cats in the contemporary period.
It’s bigger than the other ones and doing nicely, in fact. It’s doing fantastically, ” Conteras added.
