What Makes Venus Such a Unique Cat?
So, what makes Venus stand out from other cats? For starters, she has heterochromia which means she has two different colored eyes: one blue and one green. Cats do not normally have blue eyes (other than some Siamese and white cats). On top of that, her face looks like it’s cut in half: one half of her face is jet black, while the other is a red tabby color! To make matters even more interesting, her paws are also split with beautiful multi-colored toe beans on each foot. Some veterinarians believe that Venus’ unique features are because she might be a chimera. Chimeras occur when two embryos fuse in the uterus. If Venus were a chimera, then the DNA on the left side of her body would be entirely different from the DNA on the right side of her body! However, it is also possible that Venus’ beautiful coloring is simply the result of luck and random chance. Whatever the cause, this beautiful tortoiseshell kitty is one stunning feline!
Venus Two-Faced Cat’s Rise to Fame
After being adopted as a stray in September 2009, Venus went on living her life like any other cat. However, three years later in 2012 when a complete stranger posted her picture on Reddit. The post quickly went viral, and she gained millions of followers on social media from all over the world who loved seeing her unique appearance. Her owner and caretaker, Christina — or @venustwofacecat as she’s known online — continues to document Venus’ life to this day. Venus continues to be one of the most followed cats online due to her remarkable looks, but it’s important to note that she’s just like any other cat; she loves sunbathing and cuddling up with Christina whenever possible! Her story serves as an inspiration to many people around the world who can relate to feeling unique or different from everyone else and shows that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes — even furry ones! Not only does she have unique physical characteristics that set her apart from other cats, but she has also endeared herself to thousands of fans thanks to her sweet personality and loyal nature.
