A two-faced cat named Venus is about 11 years old. She is well-known online as a result of the traits that make her so attractive.
She is entirely black on half of her face, with one green eye, and orange on the other half, with a blue eye. This characteristic that gives it its appearance may be a result of a disorder known as “chimerism.”
According to The Dodo, Venus was adopted in 2009 from a dairy farm in North Carolina, (USA). Her adoptive mother is overjoyed with her; she described her as a wonderfully sweet cat who has its own scratching post and rarely damages the furnishings in her home.
Leslie Lyons, a professor at the University of California at Davis who specializes in domestic cat genetics, mentioned Venus in an interview with National Geographic and said that she had never seen a cat with Venus’ features before.
