Two-faced Moggy: Rare ‘Janus’ cat born in the US

Newborn Janus kitten Duecy
Double-take ... Newborn Janus kitten Duecy
A Kitten owner thought she was seeing double when she discovered a newborn tabby had TWO FACES.
The one-day-old moggy, named Duecy, has three eyes, two noses and two mouths.
Stephanie Durkee thought her children were 'crazy' when they pointed out the feline's duplicated features.
She said: "The kids actually found them and came in and said, 'Mum there's a kitty with two heads', and I said I think you guys are just tired, you're crazy, that doesn't happen."
Duecy was rejected by its mother so Stephanie is feeding her formula with a syringe. She is being kept in a dresser drawer with a heating pad and towels to keep her warm. The kitten was born in Oregon, US and vets have given her a clean bill of health. Two-faced felines are known as 'Janus' cats and are usually plagued by lung problems. Only a handful of Janus cats reach adulthood, with the oldest living to 12 years old.
