Two-headed Newborn Kitten Baffled the Internet

Internet users were shocked by a viral video of a kitten in an extraordinary condition born with two heads within one body.

Millions of viewers saw a video depicting a two-headed newborn cat uploaded by the TikTok account @katiepowell295 on March 7.

With over 3.6 million views, the video went viral, with hashtags like #bizarre and #unique.

Although they are incredibly rare, two-headed cats do have a name. The condition, which is termed Janus cats after the Roman god represented with two faces staring in opposing directions. This condition is caused by a genetic mutation that causes the development of two different faces on the same body.

The comments on the post are filled with feelings of amazement, concern, and respect for the uncommon cat.

"Wait what," said one TikTok user in the comments, while another compared the kitten to "Cerberus," a multi-headed dog from Greek mythology.

One user commented, "Poor boy, I hope he makes it," and another said, "Oh my god, that's amazing!"

However, not everyone noticed its lovely side, and others were uncomfortable seeing the uncommon cat. "Am I the only one that is freaked out?" One person commented. Meanwhile, another said, "I hope it isn't suffering."

So far, there is no more update from the owner about the cat’s condition. Reflecting on the past, kittens with abnormal conditions usually do not survive long. Another two-faced cat rose to prominence in 2017: Bettie Bee was born in South Africa in December 2017 and lived for 16 days before passing away. Nevertheless, we still hope for the best for the cat.
