  • Kitten born with two faces
  • Eats with one mouth, meows from both
  • Cat appears healthy at this point

A KITTEN with two faces that meows out of both mouths at the same time has been born in Perth.

The kitten was delivered in a vet’s surgery after its mother had complications with the birth.

The two-faced feline was one of three in a litter and appears to be doing well.

It hasn’t got a name yet, but the owner is thinking of calling it Quasi Modo, according to local news website inmycommunity.com.au.

Veterinarian George Huber and nurse Louisa Burgess delivered the kitten.

Ms Burgess said that in her 12-year career she had never seen a two-faced cat.

“I have seen cats with two tails and extra legs, but not this,” she said.

“It has a full tummy and it survived the night so that is a good sign. It seems content, it meows and purrs.”

The kitten eats out of just one mouth because of a cleft palate, but meows out of both simultaneously.

This year there have been several reports of two-faced kittens in the US. In August a kitten with four eyes, two noses and one mouth was reportedly born in Ohio, but died after five days. Watch the video of the kitten in Ohio here.

Another two-faced kitten was born in a litter of seven in Texas in February.

    (@) I absolutely love this adorable kitten. I so wish I could have it . I have 5 cats. All of them were rescued and 2 of them are handicapped. My smallest one had to have one of her legs amputated because she came into the OC Humane Society with a badly broken femur. My biggest one was born without any eyes. She is a little overweight because it is hard for her to run around. They are both loved just as much as my other 3, but I think this sweet little 2 face kitten would be a wonderful addition to our family.
