A remarkable cat born with two faces has defied the odds by living 12 years with the condition.
Frankenlouie the cat lives with his owner in Massachusetts, he was born with a rare genetic birth defect called Janus - most cats born with it only live a few days. Frankenlouie however has managed to live a full life and is now celebrating his 12th birthday, a feat that has earned him a place in the Guinness Book of Records.
We all know cats have nine lives. But this very special and much loved cat was born with two faces. Frankenlouie, who lives with his owner in Milbury, Massachusetts, has a genetic birth deformity which caused him to grow the extra facial features.

Amazing how well the cat was able to adapt to such a daunting deformity. I can only imagine that the owner and cat must have "pretty" special personalities.

I must say he doesn't look very...comforting. But hey, kudos to the owner!

I wonder if he can use all of his eyes? or faces.... Which face to do you dangle the kitty toy in front of? Can you imagine the great annoyied cat faces this kitty could make? Does he purr twice as loud? I think this is the greatest Kitty EVER!! I want one. No I want a glowing one, but with two faces!! THAT WOULD BE EPIC!!

Amazing that I don't remember any news story about this kitty at any time in the last 12 years! It is so nice to hear that kitty has had a good life and has been loved.

What a really cool cat. I'm not sure if I would ever want one though. It's good to know that the cat has been well taken care of all these years.

I wonder if he can use all of his eyes? or faces.... Which face to do you dangle the kitty toy in front of? The cat's middle eye is blind, apparently. His face looks like an old double exposure photo. I wonder if this cat would be useful to science in any way.

Oh no, we can't think of the Kitty-Kitty as a lab rat.

Oh no, we can't think of the Kitty-Kitty as a lab rat. This would be after the cat died of natural causes.

This would be after the cat died of natural causes. Oh good. That would be ok. Had me worried for a minute.
