  • Cat with 4 ears!

    Had to share this with you all.

    <Sorry everyone, we've discovered that the photo is copyrighted and as we don't have permission to show it, I've taken it down. If we can verify permission, I'll put it back on of course. - Ian>


    This is Yoda, a household pet born with an extra set of ears.

    Valerie and Ted Rock took the cat in two years ago after visiting a bar in Chicago, Illinois, where a group of curious drinkers were handing him around.

    He was one of a large litter, and the Rocks were happy to offer him a home.

    Now the couple have to keep him indoors to prevent their rare pet from being cat-napped.

    Despite sharing names with Luke Skywalker's diminutive mentor in the Star Wars films, this unique moggy does not have Jedi powers - in fact he does not even have special hearing.

    The extra ears are merely flaps of skin, and do not detect sound.

    Still, the neighbourhood's mice will not taking any chances.

    I was expecting to see a moggie shot with one mogg behind the other

    Life is always more surprising than fiction!

      His actual hearing ears look rather large anyhow! Funny what mutations there are sometimes! Thanx for sharing!

            No need to delete - if you can provide a link to where you found the picture, we can still enjoy the shot there

              It was a link on the BBC news website yesterday and now I can't find it. I'd rather delete the whole thread, can I do it myself or does admin have to do it. In future, I will link to an image instead. Again, apologies.

                Google is your friend, Gina. The cat is all over the internet, you can find a nice picture here: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...FOUR-ears.html

                He sure looks special!

                Cheers,
