A kitten was born in Grove City, Ohio with two faces :D. This happened EXACTLY a year and a month after a kitten like that was born in Oregon.

Would you like to own a two headed kitten?
Any predictions on what it will be like?
General discussion on two faced kittens...
:p :p :p

that's just a bit weird.

Maybe they live near toxic waste and it's mutated

You know, like the 3 eyed Fish in the simpsons :)

lol. The mommy cat had like 3 other kittens too.
a report I saw a few days ago said this kitten hadnt opened its eyes and the others all had, but this one said nothing about it.

Good luck little kitten :D

Probably just something went wrong with its development in the womb. Abnormalities occur naturally more often than you might think. Read 'Mutants' by Armand Marie Leroi, it's a great book on the subject, giving possible explanations for a variety of mutations.

Hmm that was gross but not particularly amazing.

Even in humans we have a lot of mutations, like XXY males and XXX females (no Jemma Jameson jokes, ta).

Still quite grim, though.

"The little boy who owns the cat said he hasn't decided on a name
for the kitten yet, but said he wants to name it Tiger."

I suspect this is just a transcription from a very excited young boy, but my gut tells me TV news grammar is suspect in taking another victim.

Call the cat Janus - the two-headed god. :p

What's with the extra X's? How is a XXX female different from a XX female, besides the extra X chromosome? :confused:

It's likely due to global climate change as well as other environemental issues. George W. Bush is causing so much havok. W is so blinded by ideology that he doesn't realize that capitalism no longer works, without strong government intervention into business, they will pollute the whole Earth, causing hurricanes and ice melts. Then what do we do. :(

Hehe, two-faced kittens are far more harmless than two-faced politicians.

Wait, wait, I know this, I did a project on it... There isn't a great deal of difference, but girls with three X chromosomes are often passive and quiet as children and may show delayed development of motor and speech function. They have a lower intelligence on average and may posses learning disorders, like dyslexia. They often have a tall stature.

So yeah, the extra X only causes a few differences, and different women are affected by it to different degrees.

EDIT: Symptoms get more severe as X's get tacked on. Penta-X (XXXXX) can cause heart defects.

This one is worthy of saving as a signature...... Someone has actually blamed George W. Bush for a kitten born with 2 faces. Let's add that to the list with Natural disasters, a repeat terrorist attack on the WTC towers, gas prices. What's next??

"If John Kerry were elected to office Kittens would not be born with two faces.. Paid for by Liberals against birth defects in Kittens."

You are an example of a cosnervative "Anders Rusmussen" extremist, Dan Marc. I am not blaming George W. Bush, just his extreme environemental policies. WE MUST HAVE GOVERNMENT PLAY A CENTRAL ROLE IN THE ECONOMY TO STOP GLOBAL WARMING. Bush Captialism can't work anymore. :(

Aww, kitty.

It's probably the cat equivalent of siamese twins... like that kid that was born with the second partial head attached to her own.

Testify Sistah!!

I think the kid was just speaking with both his mouths, and they haven't decided yet.

yet again, George W. Bush's environmental policies or your hatred for capitalism have nothing to do with a kitten that has a birth defect.

"under socialism, kittens are guaranteed to never have birth defects, regardless of how many times they inbreed"..

There are proper places to debate environmental policy, and proper places to debate the free market. Only the very craziest of the left have to drag those topics into a thread about a kitten with birth defects... thank you for yet again validating another stereotype.

Let me guess, it would be wrong to euthanize this kitten because "animals have rights too", but if it were a human child that were about to be born with 2 faces, you would want to use your "right to choice" to kill the baby too.

Well, it's either you or the invisible plaid elephant floating around the room pissing on the posts.

Explain that creationists!

It wouldn't be a baby if it could be aborted for one thing. For another, if a birth defect like that was detected then a woman should have the right to choose whether she wants to continue with the pregnancy. And for another, the kitten is already born so euthanizing it is entirely different from aborting it. No one would advocate killing a baby born with two faces afterall.

I also love how you tried to make a thread about a strange kitten into an abortion debate.

Tiger is a bad name, let's combine Mythology & Puns and call it Cerepuss :D

i was about to point that out. but then i saw your post

Two Faced Cat + LimeCat + Hitler Cats = UBER CATS!!!!!1

You have to love the uneducated..........
Shutup, I gots a P.H.D. (Poser Hatin' degree)

Aww, cute kitty!:fluffle:

I hope it lives.

What the hell! My kitten thread got turned into a discussion about how Bush sucks??? This is a thread about two faced kittens! NOT POLITICS!

Now all we need is a back-stabbing puppy.

more reasons to not like cats...:cool:

Name it "Toofer"

Name it "Toofer"

That,s ıt... now I've seen everythıng.. ... well maybe not a flyıng pıg.... ... one day...

What's with the extra X's? How is a XXX female different from a XX female, besides the extra X chromosome? :confused:
A lot of wierd things can happen if there are too many or too few of certain chromosomes. Most of these cause a miscarriage, but some still live.

Jesus shit-kicking Christ. A thread about a two-faced kitten contains anti-Bush rants and a partial abortion discussion. Goddamn. Only in General.
