Two-Faced Kitten 'Harvey Dent' Born In Port Charlotte, Florida (VIDEO)

Twofaced Kitten

An two-faced kitten has died two days after his birth in Port Charlotte, Florida.

The kitten – named Harvey Dent after the two-faced character in the Batman series – had four eyes, two mouths and two noses.

Upon his birth, the tiny feline seemed apparently healthy, with owners Nash Hand and Amanda Forsythe telling Sarasota TV station WWSB: “They simultaneously work together, the two faces.

“When he eats on one side it looks like he is eating on the other. When he meows it comes out both sides.”

Two-faced felines are known as Janus cats after the Roman god who also had two faces.

Sadly, two-faced cats tend not to live very long, as is the case with Harvey Dent, who died yesterday, ABC 7 reported.

The exception to the rule is a two-faced cat who is almost 12-years-old, according to the Guinness Book of Records.

I feel a little sorry for the owners of this poor kitten, they seem like nice people who care for their pets, however short the pet's time may be. Ignore all those who've said nasty things, I guarantee anyone who could suggest ending an animal's life just because it was born a little different is not someone whose opinion matters.

The poor kitten, who the hell do people think they have the right to pass a death sentence on things which are different ???? we saw that happen back in the late 30`s in a country called Germany have we all become gods we are better than the rest where is the compassion we should have is`nt there enough death out there and to hand it freely to things which do not conform to what is right let nature take its course one way or the other when its your turn will you be willing to accept the verdict others ...... I do`nt think so .

Should have got the thing put down, its not right to let something live like that, and yes the same thing should be done to people born that way too. Just in case you are wondering, yes I have kids, and if one was born with two faces I wouldn't want it to be let to live and everybody stare and criticise, so would be better off out the way. Hard?? Not really, just practical and normal!!

I find it interesting that you felt the need to justify your comment, even before anyone said anything. Would that be your response if one of your children was in an accident? Or perhaps you'll be OK with pulling the plug on your parents as soon as they start to get frail?

Oh, and "it" was a he, with a name. Don't de-personalize things just so it's easier for you to suggest killing something you don't like.

Its a cat ffs. And why are you replying to something that was on days ago, are you sad enough to sit there reading through old stories. Its a cat, with 2 heads, its sick to let it live anyway. Should have been put down the minute it came out with 2 heads. Its a freak. It is not the right thing to do to let a thing like that try and survive on its own. The best thing that could happen, did. It died, because it's not meant to live like that.

This is something to brag about? With over 70 million cats and kittens starving on the streets of America, these idiots allowed their cat to procreate? Sick and depraved people.

Those who believe in souls are probably bound to think there's a right to procreation. Am I wrong?

What kind of idiotic remark is this? "Those who believe in souls" believe that the rampant killing of 4 million pets each year in addition to the astronomical stray population is a valid reason to prevent reproduction at all cost. But you need to possess a certain amount of intelligence to understand that.

Poor little thing.

Shame, would have done well as a political mascot!

What do you mean? Hypocritical or double-dealing; deceitful?
Definitely not! Animals aren't the same as humans!
07:30 PM on 02/03/2012
Oh please! Good at stating the blindingly obvious are we? Never heard of irony! It is a JOKE, OK in bad taste but not for taking literally at any level! By the way humans are animals, mammals to be precise, just like a moggy two faced or not!!
