ok, i should be mad/sad about the kitten.... im more mad that she bred a normal sized male with a mini female... if that mini female has normal sized kittens it could kill her. (or so i was taught in biology during our genetics chapter)

Wow, thanks for sharing - amazing to hear about the two faced cat!

However I'm sad to hear that the owner of this cat, is going to continue breeding these cats.

Ugh...where to start, where to start...

-This person is breeding obviously genetically inferior cats, and naming them "miniature cats" does not make them a "breed". Who knows what kind of health problems these cats face?

-She plans to sell these kittens on the internet??

-That poor kitten. The most infuriating part of the article was, and I quote, "Everybody is totally amazed that this thing exists". Thing? Its a kitten. A living, breathing being...not a thing!

This person should not be breeding anything!

That's what got to me, how she called it a thing

What a horrible woman. That poor little kitten. I can't imagine what kind of life he or she will lead. I remember reading a post once where someone linked to a cat anomoly website. Apparently this isn't too uncommon. I can't believe she's going to keep breeding these cats with the potential of more kittens developing this way.

And it is a sad fact of life that there is a market for animal oddities! I understand a tiny cat would be cute, but do you breed to the point of deformity? Give me a nice alleycat any day. Or even a purebred who hasn't been inbred within one line. But not a freak created by stupidity!

Poor little baby.

Gemini was on TV here today. This may or may not have been the breeder's fault. Info on two-faced kittens can be found here: http://www.messybeast.com/freak-face.htm Warning: The photos on this site are not for the squeamish.
Oddly enough, my husband and I saw a two-headed calf on a local farm years ago. I have no idea if it survived, but it was a few weeks old at the time we saw it.
