Meet Duo, A Little Black Kitten With Two Face Who Has Become Internet’s New Love


She is special, she is beautiful! Meet Duo, a tiny little black cat, who has ‘two faces’. She was born with a very rare congenital defect called Diprosopus, in which a fetus is born with a single trunk, normal limbs, and facial features that are duplicated. She has two faces – each has a mouth and nose.

She has now become the internet’s new love and for all the right reasons, the 4-month-old feline has fought against all odds to survive.

Duo is a kitten who was born with a rare defect called diprosopus or craniofacial duplication which means she has two independently functioning faces

Though, Duo is loved by everyone, she was rejected by her mother when she was born different than her siblings. That’s when this good Samaritan – Dr Ralph Tran, a vet, decided to adopt this baby, according to the Daily Mail.

She made a debut on the internet when Tran made a Facebook page for her and started sharing pictures and video of the cat.

Dr Ralph Tran explained that he adopted Duo while passing through Colorado on a cross-country trip from New York to California after his friend's cat gave birth
While most cats with diprosopus don't live more than a few days, expert care from Dr Tran means that Duo has defied the odds to live to four months

During her short life, Duo has been forced to contend with a serious lung infection, a possible seizure, and the collapse of her central eye, which will need to be removed. Despite this, Dr Tran says she shows no obvious signs of being in pain

Duo is less than half the size of a typical cat her age, but has learned to walk, climb, eat independently, and interact with humans and other cats

In a recent post, Duo was seen playing with her sibling at her new home. “Duo is 4 months, 1 week and 4 days old today. Over the past week she has really gained a lot of weight and has made tremendous progress,” reads the caption. “She’s gotten the eating thing completely figured out now and only makes a tiny mess when she eats!” it further reads.
