Deucy is a rare Janus cat, named after the Roman god with two faces.

Her owner, Stephanie Durkee, took her to the veteranarian, who told her the newborn appeared to be healthy with a single set of organs and everything in working order. She has four eyes, two noses and two mouths.

Deucy is apparently very lucky: Janus cats often die very shortly after birth thanks to duplicate or conjoined internal organs, such as Gemini, a kitten who died after just a few days because he had two tracheas going into one throat.

2. Glad the kitten is healthy...

...although I can't help wondering how it can have 2 mouths but only 1 trachea? unlike the unfortunate Gemini, who died "because he had two tracheas going into one throat". Maybe this kitten has 2 throats?

Well whatever. It's certainly very interesting. I wonder if it has 2 brains? and if so whether the two heads will display different personalities.

3. Deucy was not so lucky.

5. No great shock at all. This sort of severe deformity is not compatible with life,

except with multi-million-dollar heroics if it occurs in humans, and probably not even then.

I still shake my head over those girls in MN - conjoined twins with two upper bodies, one lower body, two arms and two legs, but forever inseparable.

7. No - not a shock

but I'm a forever hopeful person.

6. Where in the article did it mention Monsanto?

Deformities such as this have been known about for centuries.

There are plenty of things to (rightfully) blame Monsanto for, but this is just silly.

9. I'll let you in on a secret ...it was sarcasm.

10. LOL, my bad, sorry

8. Kittens with two faces were being born

long before Monsanto existed.
