      I’m not sure what those are, but I think they are adorable.

        It’s called the double ear mutation! It’s a known recessive gene that appears in some cats.

        Oh thanks! When I was here before I was the only comment… or maybe they just didn’t load or something. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    The cat is named Midas and he hears just fine with the extra set of ears.

      I’d be so tempted to name that cat “What?” or “Huh?” Lol

        I’d probably go with “Radar” or “Sonar” or something like that.

      According to the link I shared:

      The deformation has been linked to a recessive gene mutation from her parents.

    Cats are special, because any mutation actually makes them even cuter. Down syndrome cat? Extremely cute. 4 ears? Dangerously cute. Additional thumbs? Hazardously cute. They just can’t go wrong.

      Okay cats can’t get Down’s syndrome, but your aside definitely gave me pause.
