Rare two-faced cat born in the US


A rare two-faced kitten, also known as a 'Janus' kitten, has been born in Oregon.

The birth of tiny Duecy made her owner Stephanie Durkee, from Amity, do a double-take when she was delivered.

Shortly afterwards, the newborn was rejected by its mother so Ms Durkee is feeding her by hand.

The kitten was examined by a vet and everything appears to be in good working order.

Ms Durkee said: 'The kids actually found them and came in and said, "mom there's a kitty with two heads," and I said, "I think you guys are just tired, you're crazy, that doesn't happen."'

In February last year, a kitten born with two faces died after barely living to the age of just two days.
