Meet Frank and Louie, a cat with two faces!


Meet Frank and Louie, a cat with two faces! He's not two conjoined twins, he is a single cat with two faces. The condition is called "Diprosopus" and Frank and Louie is the oldest known surviving cat who suffers from it.
 Diprosopus is caused by a malfunction in development in the sonic hedgehog protein (yes, that's a real protein).

    OK, these screen shots sure do make it look like photo edits.
    I watched the vid and I'll have to admit that if she said the cat is 12 years old, then it must be a pretty tough beast.
    Imagine how screwed up the esophagus and oropharyngeal cavity are!

    How much of the extra anatomy is functional?
