Ahhh, bless.....A two-headed kitten born yesterday has left vets baffled.
The kitten's mother was taken to the Swan Veterinary Clinic in Perth, Australia after suffering complications while in labour.
Community Newspapers photographer Matthew Poon happened to be at the vet's for an unrelated visit and snapped the amazing images of the kitten.
There were three kittens in the litter, but only one has the unique deformity.
The kitten eats out of just one mouth because of a cleft palate, but both mouths meow simultaneously.
Louisa Burgess, a veterinary nurse who helped deliver the kitten, said that she had never seen such an unusual animal in her 12-year career.
"I have seen cats with two tails and extra legs, but not this,” she said.
Ms Burgess said the cat appeared healthy, but it would be closely monitored over the next few days.
"It has a full tummy and it survived the night so that is a good sign,” she said. "It seems content, it meows and purrs.
"This is the result of a congenital deformity. Something has gone wrong in the early embryonic development.”

Instead of saying 'me-ow' will it say 'us-ow' ?

Everyone seems to be rooting for it to survive but unless it becomes somebody's 'house cat' I think this little mite will have quite a difficult life if it survives.
A cat's natural instinct is to hunt - mostly for fun. I wonder how difficult it will be for it to do that with four eyes.

Raymond, it'll probably be a better hunter, more eyes to see pray...? Either way, thats a cuteish freaky lil thing

I don't know Waff. In order to hunt properly you need to have two eyes at the front of your head both facing in the same direction (like humans).
This widdle puddy tat can see all over the place.
I'd love it as a pet. Great conversation starter.

Not 100% true Raymond, ever heard of Blash the Bloodthirsty? or for that matter Thor? both where Great hunters, and both had one eye, but Norse Mythology isn't PC in this conversation, but 4 eyes, it should be able to adapt, it's had them from birth so it should know no different really.

Blash the Bloodthirsty?

What a question, and the answer is no, 67CV's since you last asked me and still no luck....

Maybe you should think of aiming a little lower. Last I heard Smirnoff had enough quality control testers.

I don't drink Vodka, and i don't think i can get lower then a Tesco Warehouse Dog's Body.

Ah, well that's probably where you're going wrong. Applying to big corporations like Tesco, they're going to want qualifications, CV's, references and the ins and outs of a cat's ar*ehole.
Try smaller shops or businesses where you can speak to the proprieter directly, they are usually more inclined to employ you on face value.
