A sweet kitten born with an incredibly rare condition has died just a few days after being born. The kitten was born with two complete faces — a syndrome called “Janus.” The name comes from the Roman God Janus often depicted with two faces in mythology. Most kittens born with the syndrome don’t live more than a day. This little guy made it four.
The kitten with two faces was known as Biscuits and Gravy. He was born on May 20 on an Oregon farm. Now, his human family, the Kings, says he’s passed away.
Biscuits and Gravy one of six kittens born to Keenly, a cat owned by the King family. Biscuits and Gravy had two noses, four eyes, and two tiny mouths. His human parents said that both of the mouths actually moved. He only had one brain stem, still was able to eat with both faces. It was actually pretty miraculous.
The family had said he was at first very lively and seemed to be doing well despite the rare condition. But the poor kitten wasn’t long for this world. Thankfully, he didn’t suffer. Biscuits and Gravy definitely won a lot of hearts in his short time on the Earth. He will definitely be missed!
