The Internet Goes Crazy Over A Rescue Kitten With Two Sets Of Ears

Cats are the only creatures that can control the internet without really accomplishing anything. Cat lovers bond over anything that features cats being their feisty, amusing, and adorable selves. It’s not every day, though, that you see a cat with two sets of ears.

Meet Midas, a Russian Blue kitten that has four ears and a defective jaw because of a genetic mutation. This, however, has no effect on his hearing and Midas is doing just fine. According to his owner, Canis Dosemeci, the adorable kitten was born with five siblings in a friend’s backyard in Turkey.

Concerned that Midas’ unique condition might make it harder for him to find a home, Canis decided to adopt the cat herself.

After having it confirmed by a vet that his condition does not affect his health, Midas seems to be living his best life. The kitten now has over 100K followers on Instagram who enjoy seeing the daily life of the 4-eared-cat.

“2234 grams of impatience”—Midas’ IG account is full of witty captions.

Midas was the only one of his five siblings to have this interesting mutation.

Midas enjoys hanging out with his housemates, Labradors Suzy and Zeyno.

Like any other cat, this one may be a brawler.

And as cats do, a lot of Midas’ time is spent catching the z’s.

Midas’ owner says she hopes his popularity can persuade people to adopt pets rather than buying them from stores.
