Rare four-eared kitten rescued by animal shelter is adorable genetic marvel

[Still Waters]

Sometimes genetics likes to throw an adorable spanner in the works, especially when it comes to the animal world. From albino anteaters to spotless giraffes, color is one aspect that is often at the hands of the genetic lottery – however, it seems ears are not immune to the effects either.

When four kittens came to the True Rescue shelter in Mount Juliet, Tennessee, USA, the team was not expecting one of the litter to have four ears. Sharing the images of the adorable 8-9-week-old new arrival on their Facebook page, the team have named the four-eared kitten Audio.

It's bad enough with a regular, two-eared cat. A four-eared kitten would hear you using the can-opener from the next county.

I wonder if he/she will have difficulty keeping his/her ears clean?
