    That's so unusual! Never seen a cat like that before...

    Very interesting face. Now I wonder whether that is just a random mutation or is it a characteristic which can be inherited in its offspring. Would be neat to have a whole family of cats looking like that.

    From the article I read about her, she basically absorbed one of her siblings in utero kind of like when human twins absorb each other and you end up with one person who has an extra leg or something. So this cat was originally 2 kitten embryos.

    Oho, I see. So are we looking at a cat with a Dr Jekll-Mr Hyde split personality? Have you noticed whether she changes mood for no apparent reason?

    Wow! I've never even heard of this happening! I have noticed that the left side of my face is significantly different looking than the right side. I wonder I am a half-n-half person! This is such a unique looking cat!

    If you really want to know whether you are a half-and-half person, try wearing a mask that covers half your face. Then see if you feel anything different when you look at yourself in the mirror.

    What a beautiful cat! The first time I saw a picture of that cat I thought it was Photoshopped.. This picture looks much more realistic than the original one I saw. I read that it is it's own twin and the result of the combination of 2 embryos and 4 parent cells.
    I really love the coloring on the legs and feet.
