Four-eared kitten finds home

[DarkPhenyx]

Thought all the cat people on the board would appreciate this. Me? I'm thinking that food having four ears would make it too difficult to sneak up on it. :)


GARMISCH-PARTENKIRCHEN, Germany (Reuters) -- A four-eared German kitten has been given a new home after a German animal shelter was deluged with requests to adopt the animal born six months ago with the genetic defect.

3. Genetic Defect?

How do they know? Maybe it's an evolutionary advance.

4. Good question.

I guess if they have determined that the extra ears actually interfer with normal auditory functions, or serve no discernable function at all, then it is a defect.
