In May of 2020, an uncommon double dealing cat was brought into the world in Albany, Oregon. The little cat was brought into the world with a birth imperfection called cranial duplication. The two mouths moved and had the option to nurture. Tragically, the cat died a couple of days after birth. ⁴⁾

Cats have three eyelids. The third is usually visible in the corner of the eye in the form of a tiny triangle of light (whitish or slightly pink) tissue. It prevents the eye from drying out and half-closes when the cat is ill. ⁵⁾
