Wow! That's crazy! I've heard about this happening before but the cat typically died a few days after birth. I've never seen this condition in a full-grown cat. I guess it's akin to a one of those symbiotic twins.

Wow it's like a siamese-twin kitty!!! I guess one egg was fertilised by two sperm but it didn't seperate properly.

I wonder if all her internals are okay? I'm so glad she is healthy, and she obviously has someone who loves her. Bless it!!!

Have to admit it freaked me out at first, but she looks happy and healthy! I wonder, does she have 18 lives?!

I think it's great that she said it's a certified therapy cat. I'm guessing that the only vestage of the other cat is the face...the other face doesn't even have a lower jaw and tongue.

Cool.

Alot of you are saying poor thing. How can you say that, it was born that way, nobody made it happen. Yes it is odd looking, but stuff happens sometimes. Us Humans are prone to many deformities too (albinism,extra limbs,dwarfism,gigantism,and even those people who have hair over their entire body) Our species is no stranger than that cat and human babies have been born in this world with 2 faces they either die early or you dont hear about them, but it has happened.

I think it's amazing it has 2 faces on one head, usually you find 2 headed animals more often.

Still, it's being taken care of well, afterall it's an adult and looks healthy.
