"Cat photos have always been popular on the Internet, but there is a new kitten
stealing hearts on Instagram that looks different from all the rest. Meet
Midas, a four-month-old kitten that has
four ears.
The kitten lives in Ankara, Turkey, with its owner, Canis Dosemeci, and it was
born with a rare genetic mutation that gave it a defective jaw as well as an
extra small ear in front of each of its bigger normal ears.
What’s even more unusual is the fact that all four of the ears are functional —
Midas’ veterinarian tells Reuters that the miniature ears do not interfere with
the kitten’s hearing at all because all four ears are connected properly to the
ear canals."
